Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" was sung by a carribean woman as an advertisement for some resort, and "New York Island" was replaced with "Virgin Islands."

The irony is so thick I can barely see my screen.This is almost as annoying as hering Bob Marley's "One Love" used to advertise Jamaican tourism, with the lyrics aptly changed.

damnit you can't change marley to sell shit, that's wrong, bastards

It's all about those commercials playing Clash's "London Calling" to sell cars. I think Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia" was used to sell pants or something, too.

Maybe if you stick to the tourist areas in Jamaica, but go out and those people will rob your ass. The only redeeming quality about that is their beer, Red Stripe.

Hi Big gay Uncle stinky. Where the fuck have you been you big gay sissy?


PS, i thought you were in Australia what the hell are you talking about carribian for. I want your pew baby you bitch

Don't forget Bicardi Silver - Should I Stay or Should I Go.

The Kingston ghetto is pretty rough, but I'd prefer it to a dumb resort any day. At least you get a taste of the real world.

What? Coporate America is using sacred pieces of goodness to sell it's shit? Why haven't I been told?

The eagles to sell US Postal, Foriegner to sell Burger King.

Its not the bands that are doing this. They are pissed off because its the recording studios selling their shit.

the origional this land is your land was extremely dark, its already bastardized.

Bob Marley is/was singing excrement. Thank you.

Why don't you go post at skinhead.com, maybe some fuckhead there will agree with your extremely stupid views.

theyve got van morrison used to sell cars here. its not even the original, its some completely butchered commercialised version (with some woman singing).

they also had some REM song for a car ad. ive never liked REM but the song (can't remember the name of it) was about youth depression and the evils of commercialism. fairly ironic i thought.

The original "This Land is Your Land" was an attack on the industrial revolution. Woody felt that the industrializing America would place it in the hands of the powerful, and not the people.

Well the latest one over here is something I never thought to see.... NIN, the Perfect Drug used to advertise cell phones. :-/

exactly nasty, It hasn't ment that for years.

Maybe he has a legit beef with Marley? Unlikely, he didn't mention it... but I mean all kindsa people did all types of fucked-up shit most people never heard about.

I saw some "bigot" talking about Martin Luther King Jr. the other day in a chat, saying he did all this unbelievable shit like used church money to buy white prostitutes, then sodomize them, beat them, and yell dumb shit like "Who's the nigger now!"

I KNEW what he was saying was bullshit, but I decided to consult Google anyway and saw it is actually true. I guess King did this many MANY times, and at least a few sessions were recorded by the FBI's wiretaps and bugs. Of course the audio is sealed until almost 2040, because anything that enlightening shouldn't be freely available, you know?

I guess revealing him as a scumbag would be too much of a hassle because we already gave him all these avenues and highways and a holiday and shit. And how exactly do you tell elementary school kids that you will no longer be celebrating his birthday because he beat up and assfucked women with even less social power than "his people" had?

I also got wind of a bunch of real stories about how King plaguerized(sp) many if his speeches and other writings, including his DOCTORAL THESIS, which was over 50% stolen.

If he was anyone else, he would have had his degree stripped post-humously.

I read this shit as excerpts from big papers, not on skinhead sites or anything. It is all true... go look.

So anyway I have no clue if Marley did anything wrong or not... but maybe SATURN wasn't just being rude. He probably was and this is all just for nothing, but hey... wanted to mention.

The California Punk Band "The Ataris" had the song "The Radio Still Sucks" on a Apple Mac advertisement.

Perhaps "Holiday in Cambodia" could be revived to advertise the country's growing reputation as a venue for child sex tourism (remove the "don't" in the "don't forget to pack your wife" line).

Perhaps the worst example of changing the words to a song I can think of is a Christian band covering Nirvana's "All Apologies" and replacing "everyone is gay" with "Jesus is the way".

I can't find anything on Google to suggest that Luther King beat, sodomised or said "who's the nigger now" to women. Of course, he cheated his PhD and used prostitutes, but there's a big difference between this little-known side of his character (weak, amoral/immoral) and what you suggested (vicious, psychotic).
