"Start Me Up" is being used in a new advertising campaign for Walmart. It sounded like the original but I didn't have the tv volume on loud. Evil, pure evil!

You think that is a sign that the end is near? As if SMU was some kind of holy sacrament...

Isn't it? Trying to think but isn't SMU the "newest" of the warhorses? It ain't "You Got Me Rockin" despite the good riff. SMU was the sound of 1981 for me.

Okey, I hear you. You have a Swedish name so I'm sure you know what you're talking about...

It was pretty damn ingenious when Microsoft used it for Windows '95.

I live in Seattle & am not a big fan of Walmart. I used to do a lot of business up in Alaska. I watched them open a store on Kodiak Island & utterly destroy the entire economy of the island. Not a unique case at all. Maybe they were ok when they originally started but when the founder died & the investment bankers took over it didn't go well for anyone outside of the stock market folks. Pure greed.

How about this?

I'm Guilty - I buy Shaving Creme and Blades from the local Walmart. Surprisingly,their shopping Cart wheels work for the most part. Besides, the Walmartians are fun to look at.

Uh, don't forget Satisfaction for Snickers candy bars.

After the Beatles Revolution for Nike it was all downhill

No Walmarts down here but still massive shopping
complexes selling the same boring crap …. only venture
into them when I really have to ….The massive glow of
Fluorescent light raining down always makes me walk funny …..

wonder what the profit margin is on the MAGA hats. if they are at the big W, most likely made in China to squeeze every last penny out of the deal. not that there's anything wrong with that...

Nike used that without permission, unlike Windows and the Stones...

As I recall, Nike did have the permission of the owner of the song's copyright at that time: Michael Jackson!

after that rice krispies commercial; i just haven't been myself.
yes, i'm blaming it on them.

REALLY? WHO CARES?

Apologies for the caps but that had to be shouted!

How about calling The Stones the "Start Me Up" band? -And how about "Start Me Up" as the opener for every concert on the American "No Filter" leg?

Nike used the real thing: John, Paul, George and Ringo. Soon after the ad hit the airwaves in mid-March, the band’s record label, Apple Records, sued for $15 million, their lawyer claiming that the band hadn’t given their “authorization or permission.” George Harrison said the spot opened the door for the band’s songs to be used to advertise everything from “women’s underwear” to “sausages.” Yet Yoko Ono – who held shares in the Beatles’ record company – had helped broker the original deal. She thought the spot might introduce a new generation to her late husband’s music. Nike stopped running the ads early in 1988, and the case settled out-of-court the next year on terms that have been kept secret since.

of course everyone raved about She's a Rainbow being used for a stupid car advert....

I guess Mick and Keith are short cash?

No more miserable place on earth than Walmart at 10 pm on Christmas Eve...

....but they do have Target and Westfield Shopping malls
When I visited Australia I noticed a Costco on the outskirts of Melbourne and the thing I'm most curious about is, do they sell hot dogs and a drink for $1.50?

would only be $1 with exchange rate, haha. i ordered deluxe midnight oil live package from down under & was pleased with the cost including shipping. shocking that the oils isn't on any release schedule in the states. their tour in 2017 was basically sold out. & wonderful.
