Moby Song In Car Commercial For Good Cause
Although Moby once vowed never to allow his music to be
used in a commercial promotion featuring demon cigarettes, or the horseless
carriages, he has given permission for a car company to use one of his songs in
a commercial for Rover. The bald-headed genius has signed off on his "God
Moving Over The Face Of Waters," to be used in ads for the companies new "400"
car. However money he earns form the commercial will be used for environmental,
alternative energy and animal rights organizations, according to a report in
Melody Maker. He told the U.K. weekly that "There's something perversely
satisfying about taking money from a car company and giving it to organizations
which work to protect the environment. I figured that they were going to make
the commercial with or without my music , so why not let them use the track and
in the process help out some worthwhile charities." Moby is now ruminating
on what charities are the worthiest. If you have any druthers you can reach him
in care of his record company, which in the U. S. is Elektra Records.
