I ain’t ‘fraid of no liquidation sale

Posted on May 31, 2004 @ 1:22 pm

Dear Local Used Car Dealer,

It is neither cool nor ironic to use Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters as background music in your current “liquidation sale” radio spot when: 1.) Halloween is five months away, and 2.) the advertisement itself makes no reference whatsoever to ghosts, busting, or anything even vaguely spooky. It is merely confusing.

In the future, I hope that you will consider looking beyond low licensing fees to choose a more appropriate song to represent your business and its sales promotions to the general public. Thanks for your time, and best wishes.

Sincerely,

Jess

    And what song would that be? :)

    Gee, er, well…how about “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang? Only it could be a reference to the dealer’s liquidation “salebration.” ;)
