Having recently been thinking of song titles/lyrics for a project I was working on, I was reminded of how important it is to think about everything to do with that song/band/scene etc. before using it.
One of the funniest examples I can remember of this going wrong is with Smile.co.uk. the Internet bank.
Now while I love the song 'Smile' by the Supernaturals, it does mean that I continue to sing it in my head after the advert finishes and unfortunately for them, I remember that the next line after the cut is:
'You'd better smile... because that's all you've got left.'
Probably not the best tag-line for a bank...

Yes it was, but it still annoys me to this very day!
