HEROIN, BY THE VELVET UNDERGROUND

Somehow these long arguments about the use of pop/rock songs in advertising seems to come around to "what's the harm?" and I usually wind up being more sympathetic to that position than I thought I was, but my gut reaction remains "oh God, oh God, a car company is using 'Heroin' to sell cars" (instead of using heroin for the sheer bracing thrill of it haha) and fifteen or so years working in the psych biz have taught me that your gut feeling is usually telling you something that's true for you

from the manual for Subaru:

"Never drive if you are under the influence of any illict mind-altering drugs. For your own health and well-being, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the first place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to those drugs."

"How long before "My Ding-A-Ling" gets used in a Viagra commercial?"

Or everything on Rhino's "Dirty Blues" Comp ("Big Long Sliding Thing", "60 Minute Man" "Long John Blues" etc.)

Or Lil (as in Lillian, not Little) Johnson's "Hot Nuts" or Memphis Minnie's "I'm Selling My Pork Chops (but I'm giving my gravy away)," which is my all-time favourite innuendo blues.
