"Higher Love" for Hershey's

[dischead]

Marlena Shaw's California Soul for Ram trucks.

Partridges, "C'mon Get Happy" for Prius.

wow, was that commercial really 2 years ago??  In any case, the song (a cover version) is now flogging Aquafina flavored sparkling water.

"Higher Love" for Hershey's

The interesting thing about this version (which I Shazamed, then ended up buying it) is that it's performed by Lilly Winwood. Yeah, that's Steve Winwood's daughter. Listen close, you'll hear him on harmonies. Pretty sweet.

The long version of the commercial starts out a little weird/depressing, but eventually gets there:

Now I've seen everything: Rapping white guys appropriating Kelis' "Mikshake" for Verizon Prepaid. SMH.

It's a commercial?? It's on the radio a lot. Began hearing it a couple months (?) ago.  "My Prepaid is better than yours...."

Some prescription drug for psoriasis becomes the 8 billionth product to use "Walking on Sunshine"

"The Weight" (!) in a spot for Country Inns and Suites. Can't recall ever hearing that song in a commercial before.

Go-Go's "Head Over Heels" for Honda

Go-Go's "Head Over Heels" for Honda

Those Honda a cappela spots are pretty cool, IMHO. There's also one with a boy's chorus doing Kiss' "I Was Made For Lovin' You"
