I Don’t Seaworld What Anyone Could Seaworld

May 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Spotted: counter-culture meets counting money. A re-recording of The Moldy Peaches’ “Anyone Else But You” (made semi-famous in Juno), with new fun lyrics about vacation, in a commercial for Seaworld.

Kimya Dawson and Adam Green, have you no shame? It was kind of kitsch and meta and acceptably ironic when Of Montreal sold “Wraith Pinned to the Mist & Other Games” to be used as a jingle for Outback Steakhouse, but somehow this steps over the line for me. The Moldy Peaches don’t even exist anymore as a band, making this move seem more like a last chance money grab than the hipster pragmatism of past indie folks gone commercial (cf. The Go! Team, Of Montreal, The Magnetic Fields… etc.)
