It can be an Original song on a Cd, like The Flaming Lips Do you realize song, which was used for a Land rover commercial, I also heard a The New Pornographers song on.. I forgot the bloody commercial.. and I have heard countless crappy beatles covers like the Jonas brothers cover of "Hello, Goodbye" used for some.. Target? ad.. but I heard a "With a little help from my friends" cover that was EVEN worse, used for some hotel commercial.

some songs that actually I think made the commercial better, was Cat powers cover of Cat Stevens song "How can I tell you" for some Diamond Commercial, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-jOjK003...

hm, I am pretty sure I heard a ghastly cover of "Hush" on a car commercial, and a pretty good "Melt with you cover" from Nouvelle vague, though I forgot what the commercial was about.

new soul

lazy eye by silversun pickups, from their album carnavas.

it was used on the 2008 mlb all star game commercial.

Mad World by Gary Jules --- First Gears of War commercials

"blame canada" from southpark its funny and a blamer!

Republica's "Ready To Go" - A mobile phone advert.

The Commercial is the Gico Insurance commercial where the Cave Man is on the moving ramp inside the air port

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who ~ Nissan Maxima comercial a few years back. The car sliding sideways through the desert with that song going. Made me want to buy one!

BTW Thanx Shred, alway wanted to know who sung that song, it's sweet!

levi jeans always had a good way with music in their ads. in the uk it was almost guaranteed that the tune in the latest levi's ad would get to number 1 in the national pop charts. i think i remember that happening with 'spaceman' by babylon zoo, and 'underwater love' by.... um... i forget.

anyway. i hate advertising with a passion ha ha!... so here's my 'favourite'... the clash vs levi's ;)

iron and wine"such great heights"..for a m&m commercial
