Hello… You may recall that recent TV commercials by Vonage and Chevy used the same exact background music.

I just caught that same Chevy ad — again, while watching football — but this time, the background music was different. The former frenetic “do-do, do-do-do / do-do, do-do-do” (or “woo-woo, woo-woo-woo”, whatever) rhythm is now replaced with some kind of rockabilly, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy wannabe ditty (heck, it might really be BBVD, but there seems to be more electric guitar than their tunes usually have).

No clue if Vonage has held onto the original music for their ads. I think I saw one of their commercials yesterday or the day before, and I’m pretty sure it had the same tunage.

I guess the original coincidence was unintentional. I still bet some ad rep got chewed out over it. And take note: I still can’t recall the name of the particular model of car that Chevy is selling in this spot, which makes me question its effectiveness regardless of the music. Heck, if it hadn’t been for the Vonage situation, I likely never would have paid the ad any mind at all.
