Target’s marketing group has become nearly famous for running a unique commercial every month featuring a song from a usually obscure artist. It’s amazing how each commercial will actually fuel the sales of that particular song for a few months afterwards. If you watch on iTunes, you’ll see said song jump to that artist’s “top songs” list in very short time.
This month’s commercial features Dolly Parton’s “More Where That Came From,” which I just love. (Sue me.)
While most of the commercials are nothing more than an exercise in gluttonous exposure with overly ambiguous messaging, I just love this particular one because the song is just perfect for the message of the commercial. Plus, the big dog just kicks ass (he’s at the very beginning of the commercial) and I laugh at it every time. What can I say, except that I’m easily amused.
