NEW YORK–David Bowie, Snoop Dogg and B.B. King fall from the sky and land in the oddest places in TBWA\Chiat\Day’s first work for XM Satellite Radio.

The $45 million campaign breaks Aug. 10 with a 60-second theater spot that features the musical icons. Bowie crashes through the roof of a motel, Snoop through the roof of a skyscraper (landing in an office of cubicles), and King through a barn.

In each case, the star’s arrival is foreshadowed by a shower of objects that represents a type of radio programming.
