& how about the volkswagen ad with the spiritualized song that goes "all
i really want is just a little pill to take the pain away" or something
to that order?  (might not be "pill", but i think the message is quite
obvious no matter what word you put in there...  for those who want to
check, it's the first track on their "ladies & gentlemen..." cd.)

i guess if these marketing guys at vw don't know about the meaning of
those songs, they must be a bit... deaf?
