Have Pink Floyd ever done any advertisements? Yes. In 1974, Pink Floyd were approached by a French soft-drink company that produced a bitter lemon drink called "Gini." The idea was that the Floyd would appear in some magazine ads for the company, and the company would in turn help the band with the tour, resulting in cheaper tickets for the fans, and more money for the band. What could be better? However, this was ten years before such corporate sponsorship would become commonplace, and fans reacted badly to the advertisements, as did the band. Waters wrote a song about selling his soul in the desert (called "Bitter Love," or "How Do You Feel?"), and the band donated the money Gini paid them to charity. The band also sanctioned the use of a rerecording of "The Great Gig in the Sky" in an advertisement for a headache pain-relief pill, Nurofen. The Floyd were not involved in the rerecording, but Clare Torry again did the vocal. Finally, the band has, in late 1993, entered into some sort of advertising/promotion arrangement with VW. As a result, you can now purchase a limited edition "Volkswagen Pink Floyd," a modified Golf III (or a Golf-based Cabriolet).
