>Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads and the Tom
>Tom Club...

there's an advert on british tv at the moment which is all
about the value of words (it's for vodaphone) and most of
the text that flashes up on screen is taken from wordy
rapping hood (or whatever it's called). some of this text is
read out over the jingly music that's playing but the music
isn't the original stuff but something airy fairy. i wonder
if the ad agency actually credited / paid the tom tom club
for the words or whether they tried to pass it off as their
own work...

(it's about now that somebody points out that it wasn't the
tom tom club that did this or something. i'm not entirely
sure. before my time (he says, lying))

oh, and you all forgot to mention tiffany... 8)
