I didn't see the original thread, but a friend sent me the video of the commercial (which I assume he got from here). Is it wrong that I think the commercial is kind of amazing?

What?? So weird. I will reiterate my opinion that it was amusing and not nearly as bad as the paint one with Nina Simone's song about colors.

I agree, it could’ve been worse, and at least they used his original lyrics.

Maybe Patti was upset that it featured furniture instead of broadway actors.

I actually liked it.  Furniture/interior design IS the art of putting it together.

 

That being said, wouldn't Sondheim have to have given permission?

It appears that the thread was accidentally included with pruning of threads that had offensive content. We apologize for the mistake.

And yes, Stephen Sondheim approved the new arrangement of his composition "Putting It Together."
