Weezer Has Sold Out
Not only that, they’ve sold out hard.
This morning I heard a chopped-up version of “Island in the Sun” playing during a commercial for Beaches Resorts, the family-focused sibling brand of couple-focused Sandals Resorts.
I’ve got no problem with bands licensing their music to make some extra money, but Jesus Christ guys… did you have to go so yuppie with it? Weezer’s quirky/edgy style made them a favorite of mine in late high school and throughout college. Tropical luxury resorts just don’t seem to fit at all.
What next? “Dope Nose” in a commercial for Nasonex? “We Are All On Drugs” in a commercial for CVS Pharmacy?
You know, this is almost as bad as hearing Pearl Jam playing in Wal-Mart.
