I felt the same way about the use of Red House Painters "All Mixed Up" in some commercial about ten years ago, which was an intensely personal song for me at the time.  I grew up listening to Laurie Anderson's album with "O Superman" on it and always regarded it with a certain awe.  It created a very reflective mood…

Are you pregnant?
