Ha, this also reminded me that the song in the ad is Taj Bachman's 1999 hit "She's So High," which might actually be the most ridiculous part of the whole thing!
I hope Peloton paid the music royalties to use that song in their commercial. Peloton is already in trouble as earlier this year, they were hit with a major lawsuit of $150 million by about 10 music publishers, music artists and groups like Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Drake, Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande, for copyright infringement as Peloton used of over 1,000 musical works for several years without the license or permission for a single one of their songs.
"'By Peloton’s own admission, music is at the center of the ballyhooed Peloton experience,” it says. “Peloton’s experience is built around songs. Users can even select classes based off the type of music they want to listen to — Eighties rock, Seventies disco,' National Music Publishers Association president and CEO David Israelite said."
