Artists That Shouldn't Do Advertisements for the Gap

Artists That Shouldn't Do Advertisements for the Gap

Probably no longer topical, but play off of the ad that shows a series of artists singing Supertramp's "Give a Little Bit," except do it exclusively with artists that wouldn't quite fit the Gap's marketing campaign:

• Billy Bragg ("Give a little bit of your love -- and, hey, why not give a livin' wage to your Malaysian sweatshop workers!" <lights fade as he continues tirade>)
• Gilbert
• DEVO
• Pink-album-era They Might Be Giants
• Rage Against the Machine
• Completely stoned Reggae artists
• Marilyn Manson
• Nearly dead Rolling Stones
• Ranting spoken-word Henry Rollins or Jello Biafra
• Heroin-addled: Jesus & Mary Chain, Ministry
• My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
• Glenn Danzig/The Misfits
• Motorhead
• Cypress Hill

As always, start with a 'normal' artist, then go strange. You could throw in equally inappropriate combinations of artists. Gilbert would have to end up tied up in a corner during the subsequent artist's segment.
