I couldn't believe it when I first saw the commercial. I had my back turned to the TV when I first heard the song. I have often wondered why The Carpenter's music is not used more often for commercials, TV shows, or movie soundtracks.

???It's always a real pleasure to hear our faves...and seems like an extra nice surprise to hear them unexpectedly...it's like u want to shout out to all ...hey ..any of the rest of you 'round here know who that is singing?...aren't they just grand!  I've seen it about 3x altogether, not for a while....but it was a nice surprise when I did hear them...! ??AND...JUST another note.....I've mentioned it before.... Even though it's kind of a dumb show...and really doesn't promote very good morals at times..... ???THAT 70'S SHOW....a poster of a young R. and K. is on the back of the girl Jackie's bedroom door. |

I couldn't believe it when I first saw the commercial. I had my back turned to the TV when I first heard the song. I have often wondered why The Carpenter's music is not used more often for commercials, TV shows, or movie soundtracks. I remember hearing somewhere that Richard was against Carpenters music being used for TV commercials. I'd love to see thier music used more often in movies and TV shows. They have so much good music that would add to the atmosphere of any show. ??AND...JUST another note.....I've mentioned it before.... Even though it's kind of a dumb show...and really doesn't promote very good morals at times..... ???THAT 70'S SHOW....a poster of a young R. and K. is on the back of the girl Jackie's bedroom door. About ten years ago I remember watching an episode of "Melrose Place" and in one of the scenes there was a poster of the drawing of Karen and Richard which was used for the cover of the "If I Were A Carpenter" CD. This poster was shown in several episodes in the background of one of the character's apartments.  |

Isn't ThaT Something...?...I never got in on Melrose Pl.....that's neat to know also. I also agree that the C's music could easily been used back in their "hey days", to fit in with commercials, other shows...etc., and as well as now. For a long time, popular songs have been used to promote products.

I've heard Top Of World on the Aquafina commercials several times in NJ while watching Vh1. It's so great to hear them singing again on TV. Richard is too strict about allowing TV shows and movies use their music. If it's not used in a derogatory manner, what's the difference. Music isn't great unless it's HEARD!
