Flash TV Comercial

Just watched in horror a television commercial using Flash song to promote Flash cleaning product.Who allows this ? Are Brian and Roger short of a bob or two? Our is it the record company?

Jim Beach?

Brian said on his website that Freddie actually said, on his deathbed, while watching Wayne's World, that he wanted a dog with a CGI mouth to sing "Flash".

Lol!!! I think the Advert is quite funny. There are 2 versions.

I don't think Brian & Roger have as much say as you would think about how their music is used tbh.

*Jim Bleach

They were going to use Killer Clean

This has been running a few years. There was also a sofa sale one using You're My Best Friend

I read somewhere a while ago, I think on Brians site, that he was aware of this being used and that he was surprised that they hadn't been asked before. Seems he was OK with it.

The advert "Another one bites the duster" (selling a cheap car) is far worse....

More Of That Jizz wet wipes are selling well.

^^^^ Ha ha, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with that one lol.

Some time ago, last year, Brian said on his site he thought it was quite amusing.

(Sadly) Brian approved it! https://twitter.com/DrBrianMay/status/774061533412208640

Sofa store ad in Lithuania uses 'A Kind of Magic'.

I Want To Break Free now on a Coke advert. It's a funny little thing.

Also, I thought it was only Freddie and Roger that enjoyed coke?

Back in the day Brian claimed he wasn't sure about writing Driven By You for an advertising campaign because he felt advertising was a dirty word. Changed his tune now hasn't he? That "Another One Drives A Duster is horrific.
