Following on the success of the Wall Street Meltdown parodies, I wrote Mad Avenue Blues. Like Wall Street Meltdown and WSM Redux (both on YouTube), the new video takes a popular song and substitutes industry-specific lyrics. Only instead of finance, Mad Avenue Blues is about the media/advertising world and the impact to the traditional models brought about by the accelerating migration to digital.
Sung to Don McLean's "American Pie", this 19 stanza song was written and produced in just one day. I did this so that I could answer those who respond to my video projects with the knee-jerk "you obviously have too much time on your hands".
Mad Avenue Blues was produced for non-commercial amusement purposes only and is not intended to offend any people or companies appearing in the video. All images were found on the internet and are the property of their rights owners.

great! but - as someone said - the ad industry only has itself to blame = we lost (self) respect. (Y&R used to have a pic of a backbone on the wall where i worked...) none was better positioned to take the lead in the d-revolution than we were well, maybe the lead was taken and maybe it's by definition and appropriately 'everyone' and the copernican communication revolution is not something that could take place on the avenue or its many sidestreets in diff lands ... :-/
I worked for a while in the late 90's designing phone book (remember them?) ads for a large telco. I also worked at some agencies as a freelancer so this song really hits home, but in a good way. I think it's hysterical.
