This is a conversation I like to imagine happening around 1983 or so between the members of the band Quiet Riot.
Band Member: All right guys, this new single is gonna cement our place in rock history.
Rest of band: Yeah!
Band Member: Cum on Feel the Noize is going to be a song people rock to for a long time to come!
Rest of Band: Yeah!
Band Member: And in another 25 years, it will be used to advertise french fries!
Rest of Band: Yeah--Wha??

HA! Man, there are so many great songs that have been completely bastardized by commercials. Summer vacation + Craig's blog entries = hours and hours of internet entertainment for me!
This is what I'm missing by fast-forwarding the DVR through commercials? I can never go back to live TV again.
I hate to be a killjoy, but... Quiet Riot totally stole that song (and others) from the British group Slade - bad spelling and all.
Surely, they're happy that their song is being used to hawk... well, anything. Don't they get paid a little every time it's used? Because I don't think they're living comfortably playing all the indian casinos around the country...
"...and Kevin, you'll be dead. Sorry."
