quote:Originally posted by goodclicks:I found it to be a very surprising choice as here, in the UK, it is perhaps most associated with the movie, Trainspotting, which is an incredibly gritty and graphic film about heroin addicts.
Yes, "Trainspotting" is a pretty grim movie, but I think only a cult following of Ewen McGregor is even familiar with it in the US. I don't know if Royal Caribbean does any TV adverts in the UK, but if so, do they use the same music? That song is almost as synonymous here with RCI as "Ain't We Got Fun" used to be with Carnival!

Joe; Where DID you get those lyrics?

Iggy Pop does seem to be having something of a revival these days, many reasons why that could be, but I wouldn’t be shocked that the RCI ads have helped in some small part.
In the end, state-side at least, people don’t seem to be attaching any negative connotations to the music and such. For my part, I have the tune on my USB drive, and play it in my car a fair amount.
Maybe subliminally that's why so many people are jumping off ships these days LOL
They're using All Saints' 'True Shores' for the main website and on a DVD about P&O in general. I think it's pretty good, and even has some hint of applicability, but I'd love to know what the Ventura music is. I suspect that it's something really cheesy, as they only use the introduction.
