Tainted Love

Ack! Advertising is now fully raping my favorite 80's songs. In the past few days I've heard a JC Penney ad that uses a remake of Yaz's Only You, a Reese's Pieces ad that uses a remake of New Order's True Faith, and some make-up commercial that uses Visage's Fade To Grey. Original versions are not safe either. Witness Chip's Ahoy and Human League's Don't You Want Me. I'm surprised not to have heard Tainted Love in an HIV prevention ad. On the other hand, Kodak's usage of Cyndi Lauper's True Colors was kind of sweet. And what IS that song in Geico's caveman-at-the-airport spot?
