old news: Sierra Mist TV spot
Was this discussed when the spot first aired?

I just found this on YouTube while looking for something else, and it brings back memories of many frustrating hours of fruitless work.
I was hired to play pipes on this. The client wanted the pipes to play something the moment "Wallace" was seen standing over the grate. But they had no idea what.
It was just a second or two, but I spent two long days in the recording studio. I did hundreds of fragments of everything I could think of, all sorts of pipe tunes but even The Blue Danube and the typical stripper tune.
In the end the client didn't go for any of it, and used a jazz band.
Bummer, because I only get paid the Union rate for the studio time. No residuals! Which is how you really make your money.
