Favorite use of music in a TV commercial

[kwassa]

It is impossible to avoid Viagra ads on the World Series. This must say something about their target audience.

but, the cowboy with his horse trailer stuck in the mud is backed up by blues great Howling Wolf and the song "Smokestack Lightning", though none of the verses are heard in the commercial. I just love the song and am grateful to hear it on TV at all.

What music have you heard in an ad that you actually like?

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. An Armani ad.

There was a longer version. I was blown away to recognize one of my favorite tracks, Textuell from the Oval album "Systemisch":

2. I have only one.

I usually hate the way commercials rape the music I love, but I have to say that the VW ad that used "Pink Moon" helped me discover Nick Drake, whose music I now cherish.

6. Proving that I am, indeed, older than dirt...

this Alka-Seltzer commercial by the T-Bones has always been my favorite. The song later became a hit on its own.

8. The Nike ad with Jason Williams and Randy Moss featuring the Dukes of Hazzard theme

Great job of matching the clips with the lyrics:

Never meaning no harm . . . been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.
