John Gianelli Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Anybody notice the NFL has a commercial where the song in the background is "Every Day is Like Sunday"? Kind of a strange choice--the artist is Morrissey, a whiny but brilliant British pop artist, formerly of the Smiths (the commercial uses a cover version, probably to make it sound more macho); and the lyrics aren't exactly descriptive of the NFL's product. Or are they? Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come - nuclear bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyday is like Sunday, that would be cool. Take any song used in commercials and I'm sure all of the lyrics don't apply to the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yes, and the cover version is friggin horrible. They should have used the real song, instead of a wussie-assed cover of it. The whole use of that song is stupid. Apparently, whatever moron approved it had no idea who morrisey is, or what he is about, or what the song is really about. A marketing epic fail. They apparently don't know that Morrisey is about as far away as what the NFL is about as you can get. I'm a huge Smiths fan, if you couldn't tell.
