Just saw Sally Field (!) doing a commercial for some prescription-only osteoperosis medicine.

"you cured me -- you really cured me!"

Just saw a Tide commercial featuring a version of "America the Beautiful" that sounds to me like it's being sung by Jill Sobule.

ETA: oops, it's Cyndi Lauper!

But in finding that out, I stumbled upon this interesting tidbit: Ms. Lauper originally wrote "True Colors" for Anne Murray -- who turned it down.  Ironically, Cyndi's now using the song to raise money for the Human Rights Campaign Fund.

Well, we know Anne's "true colors" are lavender and pink, but she pretends they're beige and gray.

"All You Need is LUVS"?  haven't actually seen this commercial yet, but predictably some are upset:

Tis the season I guess. Last night I saw a Planters Peanut commercial that used the Bay City Rollers' S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night.

The White Stripes' "Conquest" is now a commercial for eBay. (Personally, I think it sounds like it belongs in an Austin Powers sequel.)

ELO's "Hold on Tight" is now flogging Honda Accords  -- sans the verse en Francais.  Accord-ez tois?

The University of Phoenix--that online diploma factory--has signed on the New Pornographers' Bleeding Heart Show (the best song off their 2005 Twin Cinema) in their latest TV campaign. (The same song is also going to be featured in a soon-to-be-released movie, but I can't recall which one.)
