Holiday Coke TV Spot Is A Musical “Train” Wreck
The tradition of using hit songs to enhance TV commercials is being turned on it's head as more major artists agree to write songs specifically for commercial use. Results have been mixed, but the new Coke holiday TV spot featuring Train's specially penned "Shake Up Happiness" totally derails a perfectly good holiday moment. To add insult to injury, Coke is taking it international (I apologize to my EU brothers and sisters on behalf of all Americans.) and Train is releasing it both as a single and a "bonus" to their new album. Listen, watch and weep:
It’s not great, but a train wreck? Just blacklist whoever directed and had dibs on the final cut. It was sad, but not a train wreck.
That sucked. Big time.
Except the redhead girl. she was cute.
