• Paulo Antonio from VancouverI got 9 out of 10 correct. Fun quiz.
• Rob Orick Alias "robgems68" from Oxford, Michigan"Like A Rock" was composed by Bob Seger with the car images in mind. Bob had many friends here in the Detroit area who worked in General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler auto plants, and requested to Bob to compose a working man's anthem about the car makers. It was just a coincidence that Chevrolet wanted to use the song in their ads after the song hit the charts in 1986. "Ring Of Fire" was used in the 1990's as an advertisement for Applebee's Restaraunts. One memorable instrumental song from the 1960's is based on an actual advertisement for Mile's Laboratory and Alka Seltzer: 1965's "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In") by The T-Bones, A Top 3 Hit On Billboard Charts That later had actual members of the 1970's group Hamilton, Joe Frank , and Reynolds.
