10 Most Embarrassing Instances Of Product Placement In Music

10. Avril Lavigne €“ Rock N Roll

€œOh! My new Sony phone is ringing!€ Surely I'm making that up, right? Surely no self-respecting musician €“ least of all one who in their infancy attempted to represent punk and anti-establishment ideals €“ would open their music video with a line so devoid of dignity? Well, Avril Lavigne did marry Nickelback's Chad Kroeger€ I wish I could tell you that's the worst part. That that's as bad as the whole thing gets. But it isn't. Right after saying it, Lavigne plucks her ringing Sony Xperia from a GLASS OF WATER, completing the transformation from music star to infomercial saleswoman. She barely stops short of saying €œWow €“ it actually works! Thanks Sony!€. Of course, she then proceeds to sing a song lamenting about how rock and roll music is dead. Sorry Avril, but I think you might be part of the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuNTO31FlY8
