------------------

Volkswagen (Cabrio) - Pink Moon; Nick Drake
------------------
"Negative. I am a meat popsicle."

I was very glad the song 'Dah dah dah' by Trio finally got heard in America when VW used it...Great song by a german minimalist band
------------------
Why?
Why do you keep hounding me and harassing me and hounding me?
It's not like I don't have anything better to do, you know.
It's not like the Phantom Cruiser is going to wax itself.
It's not like last night's burrito stain will just up and remove itself from my cape.
I am a superhero!
A very very busy superhero! Who does...things!
Now get out of here before I tell your mother.
AND DON'T TRAMPLE MY BEGONIAS!
-Space Ghost..

The whole album was great... I was commenting more that if it wasn't for the VW commerical, they wouldn't even qualify for a "whatever happened to..." special on VH1
Most of the time ...like Bargain by The Who.... they just annoy me and ruin the song

Visit Link Removed . They list the music and artist used in many popular commercials.
Interesting site.

My personal favorite car ad remains the Nissan 300ZX ad featuring Barbie/GI Joe/Ken with Van Halen's cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me."

what song is in that one where the guy breaks up the wedding? i dont even remember what car was advertised...
------------------

it's the VW Jetta VR6 in that wedding ad. I wish I knew the song because I'm also currently looking for it. Hope that info helps.
[edit]I found the song using adcritic.com. It's J Ralph - One Million Miles Away.[/edit]

i love that Jetta VR6 commercial.
My next car uses the Barenaked Ladies - One Week song in it and that is the Mits. Lancer.

cool post!
off the top of my head...
volkswagon - "renaissance fair" by hooverphonic
mitsubishi - "start the commotion" by the wise guys
nissan - "fly" by lenny kravitz
nissan - "wicked garden" - stp (i think...)
nissan - can't think of title - the who (the one where he screams at the beginning)
boy - somewhere there is a really cool cd waiting to be made.
------------------
"The ship of death has a new captain." - nosferatu (1922)

I think The Who song is "won't get fooled again." That's off the top of my head. I think Baba O' Reily was also used in another commercial.
------------------

Rod Stewart's Ooh La La added; used in a Mistubishi commercial?

The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?" -- Nissan commercial
Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Jimi's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" -- Nissan commercial as well, I believe....

- Tom Lehrer

there's another Mitsubishi commercial (SUV I think) that uses an old Marc Bolan/T Rex tune. i can't remember the name of it though, but as soon as I heard it I knew it sounded like T Rex. All I can remember is that it has "Boy" in the title.

I am looking for the music of that Acura commercial where the guy gets to his date in San Francisco in a record time from LA

"Roll Over Beethoven" for the Ford Explorer....well, maybe not.

What you need by Inxs was used for Chevy trucks for a while. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "like a rock", the Bob Segar tune that Chevrolet has been using since 1991. Time for a new song chev!

you lose it here and your in a world of hurt...

The Nissan Maxima has had a couple of songs in their commercials, such as
Tom Sawyer by Rush
Blood and Roses by the Smithereens
