Prince songs for advertisements.

Prince songs for advertisements.

Prince did Uh Huh, for Pepsi. What other songs or pieces of songs could be used for advertisements and for what type of merchandise or company?

"Get on the Boat," could be used for a Cruise Line.
"It's about that Walk," could be use for shoes.
"Emale," could be used for America Online.

Can you guyz think of some? cool

P - will never let his songs be cheapened by being used for advertisements - I know he has strong views on this - he said in an interview somewhere about Lennon and the song they mixed using his voice after his death - he said that would never happen to him - so I feel sure that he will burn the vault or empty it long before that happens - although he could of course change his mind - its up to him after all but I hope he doesn't - let them use his music for adverts

No I understand that and its fun to be creative and think up what tunes might be used but I just don't want to turn the TV on one day and hear them being used to sell some useless item or even a useful item, P's music is worth far more than that.

Actually, P let Tina Turner sing "Baby I'm a Star" for a Target commercial, and the NBA used "We Gets Up" about 7 years ago in a national campaign for the start of the season.
