These made me sad: Stones' "Satisfaction" for Hilton; a cover of the Beatles "All You Need is Love" for EyeLove, a campaign (featuring Jennifer Aniston) to get folks to do something about Chronic Dry-eye

I definitely noticed this one.  So, this is because of whoever owns Michael Jackson's music copyrights?

As I am largely unfamiliar with the distinguished oeuvre of the honorable Mr. Nelson, I contemplated
the track listings of some of his greatest hits collections for suitable titles.  My three guesses:

"Ain't Necessarily So"
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"
"Last Thing I Needed First Thing This Morning"

What do I win?   :)

It's not advertising, but I don't think there's a category for incidental music in television programs...

In the recently-broadcast first episode of HBO's Westworld series, during a saloon scene I was amused to
hear a barroom piano play the unmistakeable opening measures of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.
An instrumental cover of the Rolling Stones' Paint It Black was also used in the prelude to a bloody
robbery.

Yeah, it was kind of fun - the tinkly version of Black Hole Sun, the big, Bernsteinian Paint it Black.  Overall, not that impressed with "Westworld" (and I'm a huge fan of both westerns *and* sci-fi), but I'll give it a few more episodes, and look for little touches like this.

2 that disturbed me : "Come Together" for Walmart (does the MJ estate still control the Beatles catalog?) And a nearly unrecognizable cover of Little Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him" (!) re-titled "I Will Follow You", for Apple, done by a singer called Toulouse, who sounds like a half-dozen treacly-voiced Triple-A artists (think: an even wimpier Coldplay).

And then there's the Southwest Airlines spot with people lip-synching Journey's "Anyway you want it"...

A mellow, it-took-me-a-minute-to-recognize-it cover of Benatar's "We Belong" for Chase.
