Maxwell House is using ‘Our House’ by Madness. Cingular/Motorola are using ‘Pretty In Pink’ by the Psychedelic Furs and ‘Back In Black’ by AC/DC for the pink and black Razr phones. Rockstar Games used ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’ by A Flock of Seagulls for their Grand Theft Auto: Vice City video game (ok, I know the game takes place in the 80’s, but still…). Baltimora’s ‘Tarzan Boy’ was used in a Listerine commercial years ago. Even Falco’s original version of ‘Der Kommissar’ (made more popular by After the Fire) is in a commercial. This seems to be a new trend. Use 80’s music in commercials to get the attention of people that grew up in the 80’s.

I was going through digg.com to get caught up, and came across a post about a guy who put a Mac Mini into a DeLorean. I think it was a cool idea and since I love DeLoreans, I had to post about it.
