Considering parts of their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenixwas influenced by driving in a tunnel in France, its perhaps surprising it has taken four months for Phoenix's "1901" to hit a car commercial. Here's the ad for the new Cadillac SRX, a crossover, apparently, that features the song. It totally works. [Stereogum]
My wife and I saw that during the MNF game this week. We got really excited for Phoenix - they must be making a ton of money these days! Good for them. :)
I mean get that money Phoenix, but damn. Ew.
Tell me you wouldn't be ecstatic to have Cadillac call and ask to use your song in a national TV spot. Tell me you would say, "No thank you. I'm not going to sell out, no matter how much money you offer." :)
SELLOUTS!
