AWESOME ad!!
-
selling his soul would be letting a record company dictate how his songs should sound

"Sells his soul"?
If it weren't for a couple older commercials which used his songs (sorry, dun remember what they were for, but the songs used were Desert Island and Strange Powers), I would never have even heard of Stephin Merritt, which would've been my loss. ='[.]'=

If that Volvo comes with Stephin Merritt, I will sell MY soul to buy it.

Sold his soul? What the fuck, singing for a commercial is hardly selling your soul.

the fact that people are saying stephin merritt has sold his soul just because he sung a song for a volvo commerical, they are all fucking retarded. just because you do a song for a company commerical, doesn't mean you sold your soul. it's called making money. he has a career of writing songs and making music, they obviously like his stuff so they wanted him to do one for their commerical, he said yes, that's how a fucking job or career works. Thats how a career or job works, do this, make money

"Sells his soul"? Nonsense. You *might* be able to make that argument if the song were different than a song he might actually write & perform (say, if they wanted him to do a slick jingle), but that's not the case. This song could've been written for one of Stephin's albums, and everyone would think he was just being his usual ironic self. I don't think that punters should be allowed to pass judgment on professional musicians' "souls" until they've been offered a commercial and turned it down.
