“Smoke on the Water” Ad

Most likely, I am going to date myself 😯 . Deep Purple has and will always be one of my favorite super-groups of all time.  I’ve owned Made in Japan in pretty much every form of media available (except for the dreaded 8-track) and yes, there is a copy of this awesome 70’s album in one of my iPods.  So when I saw this Smoke on the Water ad, I could not but make a comment.

You see, side two of Made in Japan opens with the iconic Smoke on the Water.  Well…  I am sitting here tonight watching TV and the following ad appears (click the “play” button below).  Oh the humanity, and they are not even using instruments!!!  I suppose “a new generation” is wondering where this song came from.  For an old fart like me, it is a little sad…  Oh well…
