You should be entitled waitress beer service for a week for such unsympathetic behaviour I'm made up for Delta 5 they'll be earning an absolute fortune from that It happened to Colin Vearncombe (Black) at least twice with Wonderful Life iirc on one of those two occasions he got paid £20k - for the rights to use the song £20k - for allowing someone else to re-record the song for the advert £50 - for each time the advert ran but that is per ITV region (which was about 15 or 16 at the time), so a nationwide campaign 2 ads an hour £1600 per hour a few hours a day for a couple of months (and thats without even mentioning CH4) And that happened to him at least twice. He used to sit there, watching the telly going Kerching! Like they say, you only need to write one song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got Stand By Me going for the Halifax ad's as well. He's said in interviews before (albeit tongue in cheek) that he writes songs he thinks will become the backing music to Sky Sports items - things like Everybody's On The Run's instrumental was used loads of times before games etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Saw a video of a "doctor/nurse" from Ohio who claimed the vaccine made people magnetized. She then proceeded to sticking stuff to her sticky skin on angles to make her point. That these people steal oxygen I could have used pisses me off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2021 BBC 6Music this morning, presenter talking about podcasts that were available "so if you want to listen to any of our Pods, head over to the BBC Sounds App" Firstly, why you'd want to shorten Podcasts, I don't know but if you are going to split it down further it has to be casts not pods surely? Listening to "a pod" makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, you are listening to the cast (as in broadcast) surely? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
