Getting to Know You transunion commercial

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.

Thanks for stovetop tonight

equally revolting

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