I love this song and yes it was nice to hear being used during that Visa commercial, but like most commercials it didn't really make much sense being used. Like.. I never knew I could use my Visa card at the Aqaurium on a Tuesday! Oh yeah, let's use this catchy old song to a completely hypotethical situation that loosely relates to only the title of said song so we can push the use of our credit card! Yeah yeah I'm over thinking this, but I hate how shallow and superficial these marketing people tend to be with commercials. All flash, little to no substance.

But hey, here's a free bump for mentioning a great song. Younger folk should look into the Moody Blues more if they haven't already.

Yea, it's shameless how older songs get used like that but damm, the Moody's were so talented, I was lucky enough to see them in the mid 90's when they were backed by a complete 110 piece orchestra, it was awesome..

I like the entire "Days of future passed" album, talk about taking chances, mixing beat music with a full symphony orchestra, their record co. didn't even want to release it for fear of alienating rockers and classical fans but it works and works quite well..
