So many times pop culture bastardizes classic music and gets inside of our heads in strange ways. Who among us can listen to the
William Tell Overture without thinking about
The Lone Ranger? And every time I see a headline about the media company
Knight Ridder why does my mind's eye always see
David Hasselhoff?
And now as one more assault on our sanity, the good folks at Lexus have taken another piece of music and linked it to their
December To Remember ad campaign. I'm not sure which is worse, the linkage of the song to Lexus, or the message that if you don't buy your spouse a $40,000 car you are a loser? Yea, when the car payments come due in January, it WILL BE a December to remember!
