Title: GSN Ad question...
Post by: tommycharles on October 19, 2004, 03:41:20 PM
Found this on Brian May's website (http://\"http://www.brianmay.com/queen/queennews/queennews.html\") - "American Idol's most popular reject will release a Christmas CD "Hung for the Holidays" on Oct. 19, which will include a "bonus" rendition of Queen's "We Are the Champions" - used in a summer TV ad campaign for the Game Show Network. "

I was in the UK for all of June and most of July, so it could be that I just never heard it... was this as terrible as it sounds?

GSN "world premiered" William Hung's "We Are The Champions" video on June 15th, right before the premiere of Extreme Dodgeball.  Apparently this was supposed to be part of a "Summer of Champions" campaign for GSN, but I don't remember seeing any such ads.  Which is probably a good thing.
