Misuse. Repurposed Pop Song is specifically about instances where a song is used as an advertising jingle.


* RepurposedPopSong: Zappa would sometimes re-use songs or snippets from music he produced for other artists in his own work. An example is "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up", originally for Jeff Simmons' solo album and later re-used and covered on ''Music/JoesGarage''.
