That’s not a cappella

I see that’s been pointed out
Along with the fact that the commercial is terrible

You know that song has quite a bit of subtle instrumentation in it, right?

As pointed out you have no idea what a capella means:
A cappella music is group or solo singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way.
There are several guitars, a piano and a dobro
The FIRST note is piano and guitar... so... in no way a capella.

What really fricks me is those St. Jude spots. One in particular showed a little girl (around 2 maybe) crying in an MRI machine. Kills me.

One thing I looked up, just because a song gets re-recorded in a different style and a different singer you need to get it licensed.
Hopefully, Baton Rouge General’s ad agency did their homework beforehand.
Here is a little lesson on music copyright on from David Letterman.

Yes, there are two licenses that need to be secured. The Sync License (this covers the composition) and the Master (this covers the actual recording). In this case, the Master license would be with whoever covered the song. If a Music House was specifically commissioned to do the cover, the license was likely art of their contract with the ad agency. The Sync license would be with the songwriter, Dennis Linde (and/or his assignee). Garth would have no involvement with this (unless part of his deal with Linde was to get some percentage of publishing because he recorded it...there are 10000 ways to make these deals). You may also need to get copyright permission to do a new arrangement, but this would likely be included as part of the Sync License.
A similar thing happened many years ago when REM released Superman on Lifes Rich Pageant. They had said they wouldn't license their music for commercials but Superman showed up in commercials (I seem to remember one back in the late 80s and there was a Toyota commercial about 14 years ago.) REM didn't write the song. It was written by Mitchell Bottler and Gary Zekley back in the 60s and recorded by the Houston band The Clique. It's a way for advertisers and film productions to get songs that are popular without licensing the Master of the most famous recording.
And I am sure the ad agency that BRG hired are well aware of how to license music. Otherwise, they wont stay in business very long.

Yeah, the lyrics don't make sense for a hospital commercial.

Yes, they covered their bases. I worked on a campaign for northshore university health system in Chicago and we got the rights for "feeling alright" from Joe Cocker. We re recorded it, but still cost us $500k.

You would have had to get the Sync License from Dave Mason. Joe Cocker's version was a cover. Unless you were using the master of his version, Joe shouldn't have been part of the licensing.

Next time I am at a hospital I may just drop on down to the marketing department and write them a song, it may be enough to cover part of my bill.

I literally looked over at the wife and said "this is dumb."

Wait there might be a connection.
Every time most people go to the hospital they end up getting fricked in the arse on their bill, so there is your connection to a booty call.

Interesting semi-related article on one of the most famous uses of a recording in most of our lifetimes:
quote:Link to Article
Legend tells that Bill Gates paid something like $14 million to the Rolling Stones to use their song “Start Me Up” in the very first Microsoft television commercial, created by Wieden+Kennedy.
It was August 1995. The commercial was for Windows 95, and the story goes that Bill Gates got the idea from the “start button” feature on the launch screen. Gates was said to have personally asked Mick Jagger how much it would cost to use the song. Jagger, being a rock rebel to his core, tossed out a number in the millions, hoping to dissuade Gates.
We now know that it was actually $3 million, according to now retired Microsoft chief operating officer Bob Herbold. And it was well worth the cost to launch a campaign that made Microsoft a household name at a time when only 3 percent of consumers even knew the company made software.

The surgeon in the first scene is a vile human being who doesn’t give a CRAP about his patients. Believe me, I would know. He is a prima donna whose partners don’t even respect him.

Half the people who respond to this thread don’t even live in Louisiana.

I enjoyed the commercial.
I saw something kind of interesting yesterday.
Saw TWO helicopters, one following the other going west along I-10. At Bluebonnet one turned off and I relaized what they were doing. One was landing at the General and one at OLOL.
Kinda cool to see them in a pair like that but made me wonder what the hall had happened and that it must have been serious(car accident maybe?).

I wonder if BR general paid Acadian’s AirMed rates for use of the choppers.
Don’t they bill close to 6 figures for an AirMed transport.

I couldn't see if they were both Acadian. I've seen other Air Amberlamps services fly into BR before. I know the Life Flight helicopters in Natchez will fly patients to OLOL(they can make that trip in under 40 minutes.
). Anyhoots. I couldn't tell what company they were.
