Music from Microsoft Holiday Ad – Dogs in Airplanes

I just happened to catch this ad during Sunday Night Football recently. The commercial is titled “Find Your Joy (A Dog’s Dream)” and among all the tech highlighted, it also shows a dream sequence featuring dogs doing lots of cool things. Very, very cute!

The soundtrack of this ad is a song that’s 25 years old. Yes, that dates it back to 1995. Why does 1995 not seem that long ago? Anyway, the song is “Alright” by Supergrass. The English band formed in 1993 but apparently broke up in 2010. Here is the music video for “Alright.”

Apple HomePod Mini commercial music – winter 2020

Apple is throwing their hat into the home audio ring with the introduction of the HomePod Mini. This will NOT be a review of that product for the entirely valid reason that I don’t have one. But! What I CAN do is shed light on their latest ad and I hope that excites you. I don’t know? What excites you? Here’s the extended version of the ad.

The ad features music from Tierra Whack. The first part of the commercial is backed by her song “Feel Good.” The mood of the ad picks up and then the audience is treated to another song of Tierra’s, this one called “Peppers and Onions.” Both songs are below. How do you feel about the ad? Does it make you want to buy an Apple HomePod Mini?

Econ River Wilderness Area – Oviedo, Florida

While I was in Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, my nieces and I hiked around in the Econ River Wilderness area. We had so much fun checking out the wildlife, singing, dancing, and avoiding snakes. I was very surprised how quickly into the hike we lost the sound of civilization, though this park is so close to Orlando, Florida. It was quiet, with just the noises of nature instead of cars. Very nice! Here are a few pictures from the hike…

The wokest commercials this winter – 2020

Inspired by an ad playing on TV and radio here in Tennessee, I put together a list of the most woke wokest woke commercials this winter. First, here’s the inspiration…

Next, here are five commercials that have little to do with the product they’re selling. This happens a lot in advertising, but these ads take it to the wokest level!

  1. Ritz Crackers. Nothing says “snack time” like a man with lipstick on. Yum!

2. Instagram. More men with lipstick. Wahoo!

3. Proctor & Gamble. Highlights a son, or….. daughter? I still don’t know. Yip yip!

4. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, nope, it’s Uber to the rescue. High ho!

5. OREO. Nothing says dip a cookie in a glass of milk like a rainbow fence. Sploosh!
