Title: Devo in commercials
Post by: Sir HC on May 18, 2005, 09:06:00 am

I forget the car company, but there is some ad with Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge" in it.  Kind of bummed by that.

Wasn't "Beautiful World" in a Target ad a few years ago?

Anyone remembers those Honda Elite scooter commercials from the late 80's that featured Devo, Adam Ant/ Grace Jones and Miles Davis?

Don't be. They were screwed on their inital Warner Bros. contract.  Devo only has half-copyright on their first few albums.  They re-record all of their commercial music so that they can get 100% of the revenue.  Swiff it good!
