Sign o the times/appleWatch

Do ya think npgpublushing will wise up and allow a sign 'o' the times commercial for the appleWatch. I assume the marketing people at apple have thought of this and tried. The chore would make great b/g music while the phone flashed through its features. The music they have now is vaguely reminiscent...if u take in the drumline style versikn of the song. It made me think of this.

You think a song about drugs, aids and guns, with an overall theme that we live in a world that spends huge amounts of money on superficial things instead feeding the poor, is a good anthem for an expensive vanity product????

Maybe the could pick George Michael's Praying for TIME as well?

Do you really assume that? I doubt it was a big topic around the boardroom.

Neither do I. Oh, wait - because there's the word "time" in the title of the song? Why not have The Time advertise it? Or use Tick Tick Bang?

Why would Apple use a song from 28 years ago for a new product?

Ridiculous.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Time from AOA much more appropriate. MUCH more.

SOTTs is not...absolute stellar track, but not right for this.
