It was bad enough when Iggy Pop's street anthem "Lust for Life" was used in a Carnival Cruise ad, and when luxury carmaker Jaguar appropriated the Clash's "London Calling," but a new song-destroying ad has really got my goat. The Kinks' "Picture Book", one of my favorite songs of all time, is now being used in a ubiquitous commercial for HP digital photography. I cannot watch it. All my fond associations with that song are being replaced with visions of inkjet printers.
