frannyo 2 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Blame the tv dramas. That Kimutaku one that just finished recently was basically a Queen soundtrack, I was born to love you as the main song. Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 yeah its kinda strange how old group can maintain such a hold in some places. i've been on a dire straits kick since the gathering rave last fall and then when i was in indonesia a coupla weeks ago, i heard them everywhere.

damian 0 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Dire Staits + rave: You might enjoy a tune by 1200 mics (micrograms) called Acid For Nothing. It samples a the riff out of a pretty obvious DS song. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 i'll check that out. gms did a kick-ass version of money for nothing, so its now become one of my fav songs. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Dire Straits? Shouldn't that be in the "embarrassed" thread? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I wonder what the deal was with that drama and Queen. Queen songs were played almost 30 minutes in prime time every single week there. Would love to know more about that kind of deal Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I really dont like Queen. And Mercury gives me the creeps Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Getting your song as the theme to a popular drama seems to be a huge business here. I think I heard that popular artists are contacted to specifically make the songs for a future drama - must be worth a whole lot for them. Link to post Share on other sites
