This Seat ad has been eating away at me for ages. I knew the tune was a close copy of something or other, and now it's just popped into my head - it's the Beach Boys' 'At my Window'

A blatant rip off!

When companies decide on the music for an ad, they will often say that they want something like song A or song B etc. It's cheaper to get someone to write something similar to what they want than to pay the royalties for the song they had in mind.

Sync opportunities come around regularly in my inbox and 99% of the time they'll say that they want something like song A or song B and if we don't have anything like that, we won't bother sending anything in, but if we do, it's worth it.

Yesterday I got a new sync op in my inbox for a major company, they were offering £3,500 for the song they chose. It had to be along the lines of Beibers Baby Baby, I didn't bother sending anything in
