Defunct anti-folk duo The Moldy Peaches have discovered that one of their songs - 'Jorge Regula' - has become something of a hit in South America due to its inclusion on a continent-wide toothpaste advert, but they only found out about it by accident.
The band are currently doing well in the US album charts because their track 'Anyone Else But You' was included in the soundtrack of new teen-pregnancy comedy 'Juno', which is presumably a good thing, but former band member (and CMU favourite) Adam Green seems less impressed by his South American successes. He told NME.com: "At least with 'Juno' they asked our permission to use the song. Recently we've had music in adverts and people haven't even asked. We had to hunt down lawyers in South America to sue toothpaste companies that have used songs of mine".
He continued: "The only reason we found out about the commercial was we started winning awards for best commercial of the year in Argentina. Friends of mine would come back and say 'Hey, I was just on holiday in Chile and you song is on the TV and radio all the time!'".
