"Arizona...

...take off your rainbow shades." Remember that song? That's the only line I remember. I've just returned from a vacation to Arizona, so that line has been playing in my head. And at least it's not one of the songs that have been bastardized from my youth via television commercials. You know the ones - here are some of my (least) favorites:

"Hello, It's Me" - England Dan and John Ford Coley - Tums Dual Action
"Don't you Want me Baby?" - Artist? - Swiffer Mop
"All I Need to Know" - Aaron Neville - GE Innovation

There are so many more, but I can't remember them all. Sonny and Cher's classic "I Got You, Babe" even promotes something now.

I think it all started when Carly Simon sold the rights to "Anticipation" and this excellent song became forever embedded in our psyches as the ketchup song.

Am I right?
