The Weight
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
``Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?''
He just grinned and shook my hand, ``No'' was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said ``Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown''
She said ``I gotta go but my friend can stick around''
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me.....
original artist was (i believe) The Band. 
some phone company's using it now.

Zeppelin doing a Caddy commercial is about as wrong as it can get.

You can not forget the original sell out in this category... Like A Rock (Chevy strikes again!). There are very few good Seger songs - it would have been nice if they went with one of those. |
I don't pay that much attention to commercials to be honest, unless they are funny.
All I know is that there's at least one car commercial, but I hear it quite often. Frankly, that's one commercial too many when very few people even know your band yet.
