2. Cruise Line Uses Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life'

Product: Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines

The Pitch: "We need to show the kids that ocean liner excursions aren't just for oldsters anymore -- so let's use that 30-year-old song by that rock guy who's pushing sixty!"

Lyrics You Don't Hear: "Liquor and drugs/And a flesh machine" sure trump shuffleboard and Simon Says as shipboard entertainment.

Sellout Quotient: 8/10
Iggy, who owns the master recording of the 1977 song, licensed the track for commercial use himself -- can we expect 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' for Alpo next?

Beyonce Responsibly


Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life' turned into a TV commercial song for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. It's number in our 10 Cheesiest Rock Music Commercials countdown.
