Music in Commercials

<< < (10/10)

ozphactor:
I was just googling something a minute ago, and I stumbled upon this. It's an ad for Cell C, featuring The Boy Least Likely To's "I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star." I had never even heard of this company before, but I gathered from the ad that they're a wireless carrier in South Africa.

Anyways, I think the song fits pretty well with the tone of their ad, but they must have some kind of music nerd in their marketing department, because I can't imagine how else they could dig up something this obscure (relatively speaking, of course).

for this new sit com coming on on i forget even what network they have been using AC Newman's miracle drug, and also a New Pornographers song.... i cant remember which one but i wanna say sing me spanish techno....

nescience:
I know I just posted this in another thread, but I thought I'd share my recent discovery of Daft Punk and Juliette Lewis in a Gap ad which I think played while I was in Japan.  My eyeballs are seriously exploding in my head right now.

That... is quite odd isn't it? I mean it as if they just dragged them in from the street and commanded "Do a silly dance!"

penpen17:
I'm actually rather impressed by the Hummer commercials.  Although I don't recognize the music, it is very good (even though I do not have a very high opinion of Hummers)

Another thing that surprises me is when good music is played in trendy stores.  In one shopping trip, I heard Death Cab for Cutie (post-Plans so I guess I'm not really surprised), Metric, and a band that sounded a hell of a lot like Deerhoof
