Here's one that actually makes some sense -- the Vogues' Turn Around, Look At Me in an
ad touting the Volkswagon Tiguan's rear view camera system.

I can't imagine this hasn't been noted before, but it just dawned on me that I've been seeing the Kraft cheese commercials, featuring Enya's "Only Time" for quite a while!

Little Richard, "Rip it Up", for the Ford Ranger.

I can't imagine this hasn't been noted before, but it just dawned on me that I've been seeing the Kraft cheese commercials, featuring Enya's "Only Time" for quite a while!

I've heard it, but I didn't know the song title.  It's one of the only two or three Enya songs I like.
(One of which is, of course, Orinoco Flow, which has also been used for at least one commercial.)

The Fixx's Saved By Zero for Fidelity Investments, because they have zero account fees and
zero minimums.  The song was also used in a Toyota ad back in 2008 because they were
offering zero percent auto financing.

A new version of Solomon Burke's "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" for Amazon.

[RGMike]

"25 or 6 to 4" for... the US Army.

Some of these have been airing for weeks, but they're rattling around in my head and I want
them out...

Toots & the Maytals' Pressure Drop in a Coors ad ostensibly aimed at women.

Tomoyasu Hotei's Battle Without Honor or Humanity was used to great effect in Tarantino's
Kill Bill:  Volume One, and overused by others since then -- this time to tout Audi's electric
SUV.

Fidelity Investments  taps a couple of mid-80s hits:  Roxy Music's More Than This and
Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule the World.

And on a seasonal note, the Waitresses' bouncy Christmas Wrapping appears in commercial
for Nissan's year-end clearance sale.
