Subject: It bothers me no end!

It irks me immensely that the ad for wireless or something is parodying Rock the Casbah with Stop the Catbox and singing the chorus....the sheep don't like it. I guess Mick and the boys must need the money to give away rights like that. But it still drives me crazy because it's not just a tv advert it's also on radio!!! :P

Is Mick the lead singer of The Clash?

I have yet to see it, but recently did an interview with a paper about misheard lyrics as a result of that commercial... so it has produced a little good in the world in my opinion... plus it may end up attracting more people to the site. I did notice traffic was up on amIright and but not my other sites, so that may be a reason.

For what it's worth--the songs I submitted as recordings are also up in listens--so the traffic is up, so is the interest. . .keep it up! (PS if you got my two emails-the one about removing the two broken links that I submitted--please ignore it, they are working fine now--may have been downtime on Soundclick)
