@davidgerard Call us tone-deaf?
Reminds me of when MSN used 'Homeward Bound' the soundtrack for their ads. The lyrics just after the ad ended were:
Every day's an endless stream,
of cigarettes and magazines,
and all my words come back to me,
in shades of mediocrity,
like emptiness in harmony.
Which, actually, was quite appropriate for MSN.
@david_chisnall @davidgerard I mean, Microsoft famously asked the Stones for an edit of "Start Me Up" for the Windows 95 release, to remove the repeating refrain that "You make a grown man CRYYYYY!"
Shame, they would have been a great way of doing expectations management for the 9x series!
