Indian Nokia Ad Pretty Much Rips Off The XX's "VCR"
More often than not these days, it seems that if an indie band's music isn't appearing in a TV commercial, it's been completely ripped off. A few days ago, we learned that Dell pretty much jacked the music to Broken Bells' "The Ghost Inside." And today, NH 7 reports that something similar has happened with an Indian Nokia TV spot and the XX's "VCR." The website notes that there are some minor differences, such as the slight change in guitar melody. But this is pretty much a straight-up rip, bouncy xylophone intro and all.
You can watch the Nokia ad below. What do you think?
