like many of you, i was utterly charmed by Kelli Ohara and last years The King and I revival.
So im watching tv, and suddenly "Getting to Know You:" a true rodgers and hammerstein classic, has been bastardized by a credit company as a sing along theme song for identity theft. While admittedly clever, this seems like a terrible misuse of a classic song.

I cant imagine the R&H estate approved this use, or am i naive?
Can they block or stop this?
What do you all think about this?

I don't see the big deal whatsoever.

There are probably a lot of commercials that have used musical theater songs over the years. I actually think it's clever because in that 30 second or however long the commercial is, it did grab my attention.

I've heard some pretty outrageous "bastardizations" over the years. Can't think of any at the moment however.

The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.

That cheese commercial is the most gloriously cheesey thing I have ever witnessed... I am awestruck.
