Music in Commercials December 14, 2004 at 06:44 PM UTC #
I noticed something like this on that antiquated Citypaper board. What's the song in the most recent VW commercial? My internet searches haven't turned up anything this recent. The ad's about a car salesman showing people the VW that best fits them.

No one understands me…except for the marketing department at Volkswagen.

Have you tried their site? They have the commercials online with song/artist information.

Another site to visit

And another

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I ran into the same question on the Adtunes forum.

I post as econobot infrequently. Otherwise, I'm usually lurking.

Over here, T-Rex (Cosmic Dancer) is plugging Ballygowan water and Badly Drawn Boy is being used to sell cornflakes.

I saw James (Born of frustration) being used in a hotel chain commercial on CNN in doodleville once.

Not bad! I've heard 21st Century Boy on a car commercial. Another shocker was hearing The Stooges TV Eye on a commercial.

Knew there was a thread like this but had no idea it was this old. Thank you, all-knowing search function!


I heard The Sea and Cake's "Jacking the Ball" in a Citi commercial a day or two ago.


I don't know what's more bizarre; the fact that such a random song was used or the fact that I instantly recognized the song after not hearing it for years.

two tv ads that have me groovin':

the new ipod touch commercial: She's Got Me Dancing - Tommy Sparks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbS57aiYFJ8)

for visio flascreens: Empire Of The Sun: We Are The People (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YN2lsrWN34)

just checked out some other EotS tracks - if you like MGMT and/or 80's synth pop, you might wanna give them a spin.

I like that one where Kylie Minogue has sex with the mechanical bull while the hives or white stripes or spandeau ballet is playing. I would buy whatever the product is. I really, really, really like it.

Walking on a Dream by Empire is an awesome song, similar to We are the People.  Never heard of them til around August when 97.9 played their HD station on a Saturday morning.  Pretty good band.
