The Pet Shop Boys has a modest bit of success in the 1980’s. Their biggest hit (at least here in the US—I think they were bigger in England) was “West End Girls,” but they also got quite a bit of airplay with “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money).”
I hadn’t really given that song much thought since, like, 1980-whatever until earlier this year, when it debuted as the background track in a commercial for Progressive:
The real trouble is that Progressive sponsors a lot of baseball games on television, and I WATCH a lot of baseball games on television, and, well. . .
Let’s just say that “Opportunities” has now become just slightly more annoying than the “Cars4Kids” jingle.
