Talk:The Walkmen

Issue
the first few bars of the song "We've Been Had" were used in a car commercial not too long ago, maybe a year or so? I dont remember the name of the car, but the tag line was "welcome to childhood" and featured the song. susanbamboozlin 03:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I've read that it was featured in a commercial for the Saturn ION, I've just added it to the article, Brendanfox 23:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC).

thank you! that commercial is what got me into the walkmen and they have become one of my favorite bands. susanbamboozlin 02:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Brendanfox says the song was used for a Saturn ION commercial, but the referenced article says Nissan. And my memory says it was Mitsubishi.

Here's a Youtube video of a Saturn Ion commercial with that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKIcqPB1Q1E

No evidence to support my memory of Mitsubishi, though I would've bet my life on it. Huh.--98.155.139.253 (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Conjectural, opinionted assesment of the reason for poor critical reception
I removed this line, since it's rather subjective:

"No doubt the reviews are due to Leithauser's diminishing lyrical skill and creativity."

Can the song "Juveniles" be mentioned in the article
"Juveniles" from the Lisbon album is getting more than usual attention. Can this song somehow be mentioned in the article? 172.164.36.130 (talk) 04:23, 19 March 2011 (UTC) BG
