Suggestions for music track in the next E-Bay advertising campaigns

I was wondering what track(s) E-Bay may wish to use for their next TV and Radio advertising campaigns?

 

With their in house advertising expertise, I'm sure they'll come up with winners, but it can never hurt for members to offer suggestions, as we all know how keenly E-Bay listen to input from their long standing membership.

 

Here's my suggestion for what could become the E-Bay 'theme' tune with some appropriate targeted promotion.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

You are watching the official remastered HD video for of 'Ghost Town' by The Specials. A timeless classic, which originally reached the UK number on in June 1981. This video was directed by acclaimed designer Barny Bubbles with the band driving around the City and East of London in a 1961 Vauxhall

Set The Controls For The Heart Of the Sun.  --  Plink Floyd.

 

Standing on the Runways.  --  Hawkwind.

 

And a track by Soft Machine that I can't remember the name of, but (part?) of the first verse is:

 

Begins with a blessing,

ends with a curse.

Making life easy,

by making it worse.

Our mask is our master,

the Trumpeter screams.

We're going to Hell,

drowned by our dreams.

Is classical music allowed? If so, Chopin's Funeral March is too obvious so how about "Age of Anxiety" (less well known as Bernstein's 2nd Symphony).

 

This is my last post on this thread.

 

I'm enjoying this thread very much, thanks for starting it.

Avril levigne - Complicated

 

"Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be.... 

You try to be cool

You look like a fool to me

Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this, you

And you fall, and you crawl, and you break.....
