You know those moments when you hear a classic song and all you can think about is the commercial that ruined it? Yeah, it’s happened to all of us. Just like how Baby Boomers probably cringed when Nike used The Beatles’ “Revolution” back in the ’80s, we’ve had our share of musical travesties too. Here’s a rundown of 12 songs that were totally butchered by ads. Did I miss any?

  1. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” for Fiber One
    Let’s kick things off with this gem from Bonnie Tyler. What was once a haunting ballad turned into a jingle about snacks promoting digestive health. I can only imagine how it felt belting out, “I finally found the right snack!”
  2. “If I Should Fall From Grace With God” for Subaru
    At least they didn’t mess too much with this Pogues classic. Shane MacGowan still gets to keep his dignity—thank goodness for small favors!
  3. “Lust for Life” for Royal Caribbean
    Combining a song about heroin addiction with a cruise? Yeah, that’s a bold marketing choice.
  4. “Bittersweet Symphony” for Nike
    This 1997 hit by The Verve got tangled in a legal mess over samples, but the Stones ended up making bank from it, licensing it out for ads. Still a good song, though!
  5. “Think” for Big Lots
    What once celebrated freedom is now all about “value.” Talk about a downgrade.
  6. “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” for Alamo
    This one doesn’t bother me as much since the song was already slightly dated. Plus, it was in Cocktail, which, let’s be honest, should probably stay forgotten.
  7. “99 Red Balloons” for Coca-Cola
    Remember when this song was a serious commentary on nuclear war? Yeah, not anymore.
  8. “Push It” for Geico
    At least Salt-N-Pepa are in on the fun with this one!
  9. “Mony Mony” for Nissan
    Not a classic, sure, but associating wild partying with driving isn’t the best choice.
  10. “Blue Monday” for Sunkist
    I’m not even sure this ran in the U.S., but still—New Order for soda? Really?
  11. “Unbelievable” for Kraft
    I hope EMF got a lifetime supply of cheese for transforming “Unbelievable” into “Crumbelievable.”
  12. “Whip It” for Swiffer
    Devo found the absurdity of this pitch amusing enough to let it happen. You can catch the bizarre commercial “archived for educational use” here.

So, there you have it! A list of songs that were truly unfortunate victims of commercialism.
