Or have I been hearing that song, “Show Me What I’m Looking For” by Carolina Liar, just about everywhere I turn? I say this because I had just watched season 3 episode 2 of Kyle XY, where this song was blatantly featured. Yes, it is a bit late for me to be watching Kyle XY, for the series finale had aired months ago. But that isn’t the direction that I’m headed with this blog.

This song really is everywhere, from television show promotions, to movie trailers, to commercials. Is exploitation the right word? I suppose not, because the people who wish to use the song in their advertising must ask for permission to use it. But, isn’t it extremely overdone, or perhaps, overrated? Don’t get me wrong, I think the song is great. I have it on my iPod myself. The first time I heard it, I enjoyed it very much. But I can’t help but think that such a great song will become a mainstream advertising staple.

So far, I can think of two movie trailers, two televisions promotions, and one television show that used this song. I don’t think these are the last ones.

Not a big deal, just a thought.
