so, here's the thing-- i'm in the shower this morning and, as does happen, a song pops into my head:
holiday, oh holiday and the best one of the year
then i think to myself, shoot-- this isn't a song; it's a CAR COMMERCIAL. i'm singing a CAR COMMERCIAL.
ok, i'm that person, the one the ad agency is trying to reach. i'm *that* demographic now.
so i decide to do some research to find out for *which* vehicle am i clearly the well-suited demographic. (please not a Ford Focus or, like, a minivan)
and i find this:
Vampire Weekend Soundtracks Hilfiger, Honda “Holiday” Ads - Stereogum
redemption!! i'm not humming a stupid car jingle in the shower. this is a real, actual song that i have stuck in my head. and Vampire Weekend? way more street cred than some ad jingle guy. ok, awesome.
except, except--
i *didn't know* it was a real song, right? i wasn't out listening to actual music and that's how it got into my head, which how things used to go down. i used to be someone who got mad at bands for selling out and pandering to the masses, so it kind of sucks to realize that now?
I'M THE MASSES. it's like my soylent green moment.
