Hah. There should be some sort of figure in here for the advertising company missing the point of the song...

I saw this commercial and did a double take. The problem is that the chorus fits (and that was all that was in the song) but the verses don't they are a sharp contrast to the chorus (for the effect of the song principally about alienation).

It just had images of elderly people (duh AARP) at their birthday parties with the chorus (everybody's happy nowadays) in the background.

Disconnect 6 - not too bad since AARP is not as bad as a greedy corporation (still they are self centered) but it was more because of the fact the meaning of the song was mangled.
