Tom Waits [ tickets ], in a statement issued to the press, is considering legal action against Opel, a GM division, for running an advertisement in Scandinavia that he says features music and vocals similar to his.

"In answer to the many queries I have received: No, I did not do the Opel car commercial currently running on TV in Scandinavia," Waits' statement said. "I have a long-standing policy against my voice or music being used in commercials and I have lawyers over there investigating my options.

"If I stole an Opel, Lancia or Audi, put my name on it and resold it, I'd go to jail. But over there they ask, you say 'no,' and they hire impersonators. They profit from the association and I lose--time, money, and credibility. What's that about?"

Waits has waged past legal campaigns--successfully--against Audi in Spain, Lancia in Italy and Frito-Lay in the U.S.
