in the 70s - Music From Commericals of the Seventies Music From Commericals of the Seventies This is a list of the popular 70s songs used in commercials during the 70s along with a description of the commercial and what people thought of it. We also have pages on this topic devoted to the 80s and 90s ABC using Orleans's "Still The One" Was used to promote the ABC schedule (circa 1977). AT&T 00 Info using Pilot's "Magic" Applebee's using Seduction's "It Takes Two" Used to promote "Take any two you want". Buick using Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein" A Buick SUV (what's Buick doing with SYVs) drives out of the castle...and it's Tiger Woods driving it! Burger King using Van McCoy's "The Hustle" Used to plug their new chicken sandwiches. Cadillac using Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" The caddy comercials always use Led Zeppelin. When the camera pans inside the car it's quiet, peaceful, when camera pans outside of the car it's Led Zeppelin.

Capital One using Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie" Chevrolet using Spinners's "I`ll be around" chevy uses the low riders and the spinners to introduce the new chevy Clarinex using The Who's ""Overture" Tommy" Coca Cola using Hilltop Singers's "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" This was a classic in the early 70's. Coke changed the title to "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke" Coke using Dottie West 's "Country Sunshine" Coke Commercial with a car coming down a country road. Compaq Presario using Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle" The use of "Cat's in the Cradle" is very clever in this 2003 commercial. Normally, this song gives me goosebumps and makes me teary-eyed. But using it in this ad, it makes me laugh. A mother takes a picture of her little boy, and then plugs the camera into the computer to upload the picture. However, the picture takes eons to upload, and when her son comes into the kitchen, he asks good old mom for her car keys.

But, by the time the picture is FINALLY uploaded, the son, now 40 years old, asks mom if there's anything to eat. Yikes! DiGiorno Pizza using Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" A guy jumps to an incredibly lame version of Hot Stuff. It was probably recorded with a $3.98 budget. Diet Coke using Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby" A cover version is used in this ad, which has been seen in the UK. Diet Coke using LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" This has been aired in the UK. Diet Coke using Brothers Johnson's "Strawberry Letter 23" the girl is on a train and she opens the bottle and the rest is just the best memory hit you could imagine Ford Vehicles using Queen's "We Will Rock You" The Fox And The Hound Video using Queen's "You're My Best Friend" This commercial has only been on the air a couple of times but I have noticed that they used Queen's song You're my best friend. Gatorade using The Monks's "Monk Time" An absurd 60's garage band's song is used in the current Is It In You? campaign.

Geico Direct Insurance using Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch" A woman has a good old time with the Geico gecko. General Motors using The Ides of March's "Vehicle" GM's new cars for the 2002 year are shown. Curiously, it runs the second verse of Vehicle ("...I'll take you to Hollywood.") General Motors using Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band" HR BLOCK using BEATLES's "Taxman" ORWELLIAN MEN IN SUOITS WITH BRIEFCASES OMINOUSLY STALKING THE STARK, DARK CITY PRIOR TO APRIL 15TH Hanes Her Way using King Harvest's ""dancing In The Moonlight"" I believe this commercial aired around late 2001 or early 2002. Hanes Her Way wanted to change the usual look of their underware by making them look like something out of Victoria's Secret. The commercial had a woman jumping on a trampoline in the middle of the night doing back flips.

I thought it was a very creative :-) Heinz Ketchup using Carly Simon's "Anticipation" As the ketchup slowly pours out of the bottle, you hear the song "Anticipation." To this day I refer to the song as the "Heinz Ketchup" song. Honda Motorcycles using Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" Hydro 1 using The Who's "I Can See For Miles" Is NOTHING sacred anymore? Hyundai cars using Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" Ian Anderson re-recorded the first bit of TaaB for the commerical. No vocals - just the catchy flute. Kellogg's Special K Red Berries using Brothers Johnson's "Strawberry Letter #23" Makes sense, doesn't it? Kodak using The Sandpipers's "Come Saturday Morning" Commerical featured a grandad and small grandson on a day out. The ad was for kodak film.

Levis Jeans using Bellamy Brothers's "Let Your Love Flow" Great Microsoft using Rolling Stones's "Start Me Up" Mitsubishi using Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly" Mountain Dew using Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" The commercial spoofs the video for the song, and the song's lyrics have been changed to sing the praises of Mountain Dew. The four singers grab cans of Dew that have been flying through the air and no one can catch them except for the singers. The NFL using Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle" A father is teaching his son about football. Love that Joe Namath Fu Manchu (complete with Jets uniform) mustache! Nestle Toll House Cookies using KC And The Sunshine Band's "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty"" Instead of "Shake Your Booty", it says "Bake Bake Bake...Bake Bake Bake...Toll House Cookies." Nike using John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band's "Instant Karma" Commerical starts with black woman track athlete running on a running track. As the the camera zooms on the woman's shoes we can see she is wearing Nike shoes with the "swoosh".

Commerical ends with Nike trademark and the song chrous "And we all shine on . ." Nike using Nick Drake's "Know" Drake's repeating/hypnotic guitar riff used to sell athletic shoes. Nissan Maxima using The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" Lost respect for the Who after this commercial aired." Nissan Pathfinder using Heart's "Barracuda" The Pathfinder slides own like a slalom skier as Barracuda plays. Nissan Pathfinder using The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" Pathfinders playing polo...I wonder if the next Who song for Nissan will be "Goin' Mobile" Nortel Networks using John Lennon's "Come Together" I can't think of a better way to describe this horrible imitation except AWEFUL and it doesn't even sound a damned thing like him. Novell Networks using David Bowie's "Changes" Two goldfish who live in separate bowls try to kiss one another.

Office Depot using Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Takin' Care of Business" Paine Webber Financial Services using O'Jays's "For The Love of Money" People are aboard a train...in the middle The "Money - Money - Money - Money - Money ... MONEY!" is heard (the only part used in the ad). Pantene Pro-V shampoo using Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" Can we get something more original? Pepsi using Village People's "YMCA" This was used during Super Bowl 1997. Instead of saying Y-M-C-A, the polar bears would go P-E-P-S-I Pepsi One using Hues Corporation's "Rock the Boat" It takes place on a boat rocking and rolling on the sea. There are a bunch of people sitting on a table with alternating cans of Coke and Pepsi One. As the boat rolls from side to side, the pop cans slide, and the people take a swig of what's in the can in front of them. Pepsi-Cola using Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" A man ogles a bunch of bathing-suited women in an ad, and he joins them in what appears to be a hot tub.

You Sexy Thing plays - and then stops - when the man is faced with the real world. Debuted at Super Bowl XXXV. Petsmart using Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" Holy cow, when I was little Carole King's album Tapestry was a touchstone of an era. Now one of its songs is being used to sell pet care? Gross! Phillips/Magnavox using Beatles?'s "Have To Admit It's Getting Better?" I'm ashamed that I can't be positive about the artist/title but I'm pretty sure. Aired '99/00 in North America Radio Shack using Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" Cover version all but ruined Marvin Gaye's masterpiece. I wonder how many people associate it now with Teri Hatcher than Gaye. Sony Camcorders using Crosby Stills Nash and Young's "Carry On" This is actually a GREAT commercial. Sony got a female vocalist (I think Alana Davis) to cover the song, and she did a wonderful job...

the song goes on "that's when I knew you were really gone" while this millionaire old guy signs off a 20 million dollar (US) check for a trip into space on a Soyuz, they show him riding the train to Astrograd cosmodrome, then practicing in the Russians' neutral buoyancy pool - and as Alana goes into the crescendo "caaarrry onnn.. love is coming, love is coming to us all" and we see the guy in the space capsule, then he's in the Space Station taking pictures through a porthole window and the voice over goes "When they ask you where all the money went, show them the pictures." Wonderful commercial, I'm very glad I taped it when recording programs. Taco Bell using Village People's "Macho Man" Some guy munching nachos and the song's lyrics changed to "Nacho, Nacho Man" UPS using Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good To Me" Walsh appears in this one, singing a revamped (and lame) version of the song about Dale Jarrett. Runs during NASCAR races (as the Thorogood and Charlie Daniels versions).

UPS using Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" Daniels appears in this one, singing a revamped version of the song which mentions Dale Jarrett. Runs during NASCAR races. Viagara using Queen's "We Are The Champions" Visa Check Card using Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" At a Pittsburgh Steelers game, this song comes on over the intercom. The song is supposed to be "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by the Baha Men but the guy in charge of the music is trying to buy a copy of it with a check and the clerk is demanding to see some I. D. The clerk says, "I don't care whose stadium security you work for! I got to see some I. D.!" Volkswagon Cabrio using Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" A group of kids driving at night through the forest looking at the moon. They stop for a second and look at a party they were thinking about going to and then keep driving. Drake's beautiful song plays in the background. This song made Drake popular, something he had never been while he was alive.

Weiners using Oscar Mayer's "Oscar Mayer" Need the wav or MP3 of the orginal song in 1963. Not the one that has B.O.L.O.G.N.A in it. The tune is " I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner. That is what I really want to be. Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner... Everyone would be in love with me". I have this song by the adult girls who sing it. Looking for the one that the little boy sings. Thanks!! West Virginia Lottery using Village People's "YMCA" When the West Virginia lottery added two more drawings of its "Cash 25" game to the week, they used a song set to the tune of "YMCA" sung by lottery balls to promote the added drawings. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire using Chic's "Le Freak" Highlights of contestants going ape when they won.

Yamaha motorcycles using The Spinners's "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" A couple of motorcycle-riding guys are at a diner, and they - and several more people - look outside, and they see a Yamaha with a slogan above saying, "Fall in Love on $1 a Day."

Published on Jan 25, 2013 "Let Your Love Flow" is the title of a pop song written by Larry E. Williams, a former roadie for Neil Diamond, and made popular by the American country music duo The Bellamy Brothers (1976). It was offered to Neil Diamond first, but he turned it down.

This record was a crossover hit in the United States, reaching Number One on the 1976 Billboard Hot 100 charts, #2 on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, and #21 on Hot Country Singles. It was also an international hit, landing on the charts in the UK, Scandinavia and West Germany, where the Bellamy Brothers' record spent five weeks at #1 followed by "Ein Bett im Kornfeld", a German language adaptation of the song recorded by Jürgen Drews, which spent the next six weeks at #1. In 2008 the song was used in an advert in the United Kingdom for Barclaycard. Subsequently, the song re-entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at #21. It appeared in the 1980 Tatum O'Neal film Little Darlings and the 2008 period drama Swingtown. The song has been covered by numerous other artists, notably Joan Baez, who included it on her 1979 Honest Lullaby album. Another re-recording by the Bellamy brothers with Gölä is included on the album The Greatest Hits Sessions.

There's a reason for the sunshinin' sky And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high Must be the season when that Love light shines all around us So, let that feelin' grab you deep inside And send you reelin' where your love can't hide And then go stealin' through the Moonlit nights with your lover Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season Let Your Love Flow - YouTube Let Your Love Flow Want to watch this again later?

Category The Bellamy Brothers Lyrics The Bellamy Brothers The Bellamy Brothers are an American pop and country music duo brothers David Milton Bellamy (born September 16, 1950) and Homer Howard Bellamy (born February 2, 1946), from Darby, Florida, United States. The duo had considerable musical success in the 1970s and 1980s, starting with the release of their crossover hit "Let Your Love Flow" in 1976, a Number One single on the Billboard Hot 100. Bad Songs of the Seventies brought out violent thoughts of hatred, revenge, etc. reminded me how lame the radio and record companies are could make me want to break my stereo would make me leave a bar or club if they started playing it would make me boo a band who started playing it suspended my believe in a divine force that governs the universe I'm not saying that there weren't ANY good songs during the 70s but there was just a truck-load of waste back then.

If anybody's stupid enough to think that ALL disco sucks, remember that it's just a bastard son of rhythm & blues just like rock'n'roll is- so they're related, see? Also, the 1970's definitely didn't have a monopoly on shitty music- there was tons of crap unleashed on us in the decade before and after and now also (there's a future article there somewhere). Clothes-pin anyone? I've bolded some of the major offenders, which doesn't mean I 'like' the others better but only that some of the songs are a higher grade of crap than the other manure here. Also, if we've misquoted a lyric from one of these masterpieces, please let us know . We don't want to misrepresent great art!

Diana Ross "Touch Me In The Morning" Todd Rundgren "Hello It's Me" Samantha Sang "Emotion" Leo Sayer "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" Leo Sayer "When I Need You" Neil Sedaka "Bad Blood" Couldn't Elton John leave well enough alone? Neil Sedaka "Laughter In The Rain" Bob Seger "We've Got Tonight" This from an Ike and Tina fan who did 'Get Out of Denver'? 'Who needs tomor-row/why don't you stay?' Silver Convention "Fly Robin Fly" Silver Convention "Get Up and Boogie" Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" Carly Simon "Anticipation" At least Heinz liked this...

'It's keepin' me wai-ai-ai-ting' Carly Simon "Haven't Got The Time For The Pain" Carly Simon "Nobody Does It Better" 007 deserved better than this Carly Simon "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" Carly Simon/James Taylor "Mockingbird" Rex Smith "You Take My Breath Away" Sniff and the Tears "Driver's Seat" David Soul "Don't Give Up On Us Baby" Much cooler as Starsky or Hutch Starbuck "Moonlight Feels Right" Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight" 'Sky rockets in flight...' Stealers Wheel "Stuck In The Middle With You" Do you really need a lame Dylan imitation, even if Quentin Tarentino digs it?

Cat Stevens "Another Saturday Night" Sam Cooke necrophilia Cat Stevens "It's A Wild World" Cat Stevens "Morning Has Broken" Only a special performer can get on Natalie Merchant's shitlist and want to kill Salman Rushdie Ray Stevens "Everything Is Beautiful" Anybody who can cluck like a chicken shouldn't bother with Barry Manilow Al Stewart "Time Passages" Al Stewart "Year of the Cat" John Stewart "Gold" Rod Stewart "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy" Forget the fact that he stole this from Jorge Ben- the answer to the title is no Rod Stewart "You're In My Heart" Stephen Stills "Love The One You're With" A lovely hippie sentiment Barbra Streisand "Evergreen (Theme From Star Is Born)" Barbara Streisand "The Way We Were" Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" Even a lounge act wouldn't sink to this pap 'You don't sing me love songs...' Sweet "Love Is Like Oxygen" Donna Summer "MacArthur's Park" Wasn't Richard Harris bad enough? Supertramp "Goodbye Stranger" Wasn't it a little early to imitate the Bee Gees?

Supertramp "Logical Song" 10CC "I'm Not In Love" Tavares "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" Offensive just for the title- it sounds like a really bad pick-up line James Taylor "Fire and Rain" James Taylor "How Sweet It Is" Worse than Marvin's version but it really gauls me to think that he made much more money off of it James Taylor "You've Got A Friend" Johnnie Taylor "Disco Lady" Surely a dip in his good standing as a soul man R. Dean Taylor "Indiana Wants Me" B.J. Thomas "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" 'And make me feel at home/while I miss my baby/while I miss my baby' B.J.

Thomas "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" Three Degrees "When Will I See You Again" Three Dog Night "Black and White" Even worse than Stevie and McCartney trying to make a positive statement on race relations Three Dog Night "Old Fashioned Love Song" Three Dog Night "The Show Must Go On" Toto "Hold The Line" 'Love isn't always on time..' John Travolta "Let Her In" Barbarino sings John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John "Summer Nights" John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John "You're The One That I Want" Andrea True Connection "More More More" Bonnie Tyler "It's A Heartache" It's a headache Frankie Valli "My Eyes Adored You" 'Like a million miles away from me, you couldn't see...' Frankie Valli "Swearin' To God" Vanity Fair "Hitchin' A Ride" Gino Vannelli "I Just Want To Stop" '...for your love' Randy Vanwarmer "Just When I Needed You The Most" Village People "In The Navy" Good for a laugh if you like camp but nothing you'd want to invest in Village People "Macho Man" Bobby Vinton "My Melody Of Love"

 Well, at least he was multi-lingual Jennifer Warnes "Right Time Of The Night" Bob Welch "Ebony Eyes" Andy Williams "Where Do I Begin (Theme From Love Story)" More important- when do you end?

Wings "Goodnight Tonight" Paul goes disco- sounds like a lounge act Wings "Let 'Em In" Paul ought to know- he became the expert after divorcing Lennon (or vice versa) Gary Wright "Dream Weaver" Appropriately named- puts you to sleep 'I be-lieve we can make it through the ni-ight..' John Paul Young "Love Is In The Air" Now that you've been suitably sickened, you might want to see the professional, constructive criticism we've gotten over this article.

In 1968, they had their first official gig, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida, USA.
