Trivialize? How the hell can you "trivialize" a song its own
co-composer is on record as hating?

Given that I guaran-friggin'-tee you that they made more money off
licensing 30 seconds of one song than they have made off of ANY of
their albums so far, I say good for them.
By the way, they also licensed "All Kinds of Time" to the NFL for
another commercial. Just to prepare you so that you don't have a
coronary the first time you hear it.
