Hope Gaz gets to see the Jeep Liberty commercial that has Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently" performed by singing animals (!).

I'm sad to report that Joe Jackson's "One More Time" is now a Taco Bell commercial  :'(

Gosh, I forgot how much I've been craving Taco Bell. It's sad, I know.

Say it's not so, Joe!

I saw that too.  From the time stamp on your post, must have been the same time, during the playoff game.

Within minutes of each other at the Oscars:

Robert Plant & Allison Krauss' "Killing the Blues" for JC Penney and The The's "This is the Day" for... M&Ms.

Not that I've seen. (Which means it hasn't been on Bravo, History, HGTV, Food Network, or Giants games.)

Meat's voice is sounding a little thin these days, although he's dropped a bunch of weight so good for him there. But the kid that plays his son is a dead ringer--I'd totally believe they were related.
Let's get right to it.

I saw it in NYC this week, damned if I can remember what channel.

It's played repeatedly during American Idol (last night was Andrew Lloyd Webber night, very strange).  Which says too much about my viewing habits.  :-[  Still, there's so many commercials in AI that I still was able to flip back and forth between it and the Sharks game so I saw most of the goals scored...

I was saddened to see Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up" turned into a commercial for Aleve.  :'(

Meanwhile the already ridiculously-overused "Mr Blue Sky" has been tapped yet again, this time by Jet Blue.

This one's kind of odd: a new Chevy commercial where a chorus of whistlers is whistling a tune in the background. Sounded familiar; I had to see the spot a 2nd time to figure out that the song being whistled is... the Lemonheads' "It's a Shame About Ray". WTF?
