Does that cruise line know what the song in their ad is about?

I keep seeing that commerical for that cruise line that has Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" playing, and if I'm not mistaken isn't that song about using heroin?

2. So is "There She Goes"

Which has been in several ads including one for the WNBA.

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
...
Pulsing through my veins
...
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

3. I have major trouble...

...picturing The Las as junkies. I'm not saying you're wrong about the tune, I just can't wrap my head around the idea that it could be a junk song.

5. Reminds me of jocks signing "We are the Champions"

Bet they'd love to know they're singing a gay pride anthem.

6. Heh I never made the connection

I mean, I know Freddie was gay, but I didn't know of any deep meaning behind "We Are The Champions"....

7. That's like a commercial from a while back that had a family setting

but the background music was the theme from "Superfly". I always said, do these people realize Superfly was a PIMP?! LOL!
