Baba-Boom

Okay: I love "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who as much as the next person. It's a great song, and we all think so, even if more than half the population mistakenly believes the song is actually called "Teenage Wasteland" (hey, it's popular lyric on the musical hook of the song, so why the heck would you guess it's called "Baba O'Reilly"?). BUT, has Hollywood run out of other music to use as theme songs? I count two TV shows ("CSI: New York" and "Saved," on TNT) and now the movie "Invincible" with Mark Wahlberg, all actively using "Baba" as the audial draw. Come on, Hollywood - unoriginal as you can be, surely you can do better than this childish game of "Cool Song Copycat."
