Dateline: Memphis

Do you ever wonder who it was at Graceland that okayed the use of "Viva Las Vegas" for the viagra commercials? I'm thinking that if it was Lisa Marie, she's just a money-grubbing bitch. But if it was Priscilla, it's possible the "Elvis the Pelvis" moniker was meant to be ironic.

Ugh-I have wondered this same thing!! I highly dislike it when "they" take good ole classics and make them into cheap commercial soundbytes and then we start associating certain songs with certain products! No good!!

I agree with kaylen, I hate all the commercials that are for promoting these products.

I cringe everytime that commercial comes on. Even better when I'm visiting my parents and it comes on when my dad is in the room. Reminds me of something a marketing teacher once told me...Preperation H wanted to use Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire for their commercials. I've never thought of that song the same since.
