5. Wrangler Uses Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Fortunate Son'

Product: Wrangler Jeans

The Pitch: "We need something by a denim-wearing all-American populist like Springsteen or Mellencamp to sell our blue jeans. So whose songs can we get cheaper, Bob Seger's or that Creedence guy's?"

Lyrics You Don't Hear: "Some folks are born made to wave the flag/Ooh, they're red, white and blue" -- fair enough. But why did they cut "And when the band plays 'Hail to the Chief'/They point the cannon right at you," along with all the stuff about privileged people not doing the fighting in our wars? Not relevant to today?

Sellout Quotient: 1/10
Creedence frontman John Fogerty doesn't own the rights to this 1969 hit or to any of his Creedence classics and is angry about this song's misuse.
