I mean't..I should reword that...how about using his song? I could care less whether they got the rights or not (obviously they did) but the fact that now whenever I think of the song, I will think of Kmart during christmas time.

Kmart sucks anyway. The weird thing is I've seen that commercial, yet there isn't a Kmart within 200 miles of where I live :|

That song sucks anyway so why put so much effort into it?

 
I think if you change the words, it's not considered to be the same song anymore. That's how Wierd Al get's away w/ all his parodies, and not having to pay royalties on the songs.

Not quite. Parody and satire are forms of expression that are exempted from copyright laws. A K-Mart commercial would not be exempted.

He actually did pay royalties to the original artists in some instances.
 
Jesus Jones is an alternative band from the 90s

K-Mart stole a song for their commercials, maybe

No. What he is saying is: I like Jesus Jones (or at least that song), but I hate Kmart, so Kmart sucks for using that song.

Kmart didn't steal anything. In fact, because the one-hit-wonder known as Jesus Jones can't make a living as a musical act, they have been peddling their only hit song to every used car dealer, appliance superstore, theme park, retail store, auto repair shop, bail bondsmen, convenience store, and lawn mower repair shop on the earth.

Hell, it may even have been remixed by Jesus Jones for Kmart. They may even have went to Kmart and begged them to use their song. Goodness knows they need the money.
 
man thats a pretty lame rant....hmmm hate K-mart for using a one hit wonder song to try and sell merchandise....wow

hmmm here is a though, why not hate your lame one hit wonder jesus jones for selling out!

Actually I don't hate Kmart. Nice try to figure me out though. It just makes me angry to hear the song with different lyrics and some b!tch of a singer.
