HEY, HEY, GIVE 'EM WHAT THEY WANT: Speaking of celebrity voiceovers, I just heard 10,000 Maniacs' "These Are Days" appropriated for background music in an television ad promoting a blood glucose monitoring system, and I couldn't help but wonder: are there other songs from the band's catalog which have similar commercial potential? (Probably not "Eat For Two.")
