Worst use of a popular song in a commercial?
I saw this the other day, and some may think it is actually the "worst song ever" to be used in an even worse way. 
Personally, I never understood the hate for this song but whatever. This is still pretty bad:
What your popular song used in a really bad way?

Can't find it online, but Domino's did a "We Got The Beef" song in a pizza ad once. That killed my soul a little. 😟

When you think of Freddie Mercury and Queen, you think of potato chips?

Any commercial that uses CCR’s Fortunate Son to sell literally anything.
It’s about the poors being drafted for the Vietnam war and the rich dodging it.

Apart from the use of the song, the idea that all these guys are sitting around singing and smiling about the facts that their dicks don't work anymore

Maybe it is not his most popular song but no way did I want it be associated with the most annoying repeating SNL sketch in history.
