Here's your chance to help with the "Top Ad Music for 2006" year-end list.

What was the most memorable ad music from the past year?

As always, memorable doesn't necessarily mean good.

What were your favorite songs that appeared in TV commercials, trailers, etc.? Most annoying? Was there a particular commercial/song that lead you to this site this past year?

My vote goes for the tune with the "Find Me" spot for Sony PSP:

"Out of Control" by Kenna

In the annoyingly memorable catagory, Vonage's appropriation and blanket saturation of "Woo Hoo" by the 5,6,7,8s must have filled in any memory cracks that 'Kill Bill' left behind. Too simple to forget, too out-of-tune to actually enjoy, the friggin' thing is everywhere.

"Strict Machine" by Goldfrapp (Mmm... chocolate)
"Galvanize" by Chemical Brothers (Where will those crowns show up next? h34r

These should get mentioned just from the number of inquiries lately:
"What Are You Doing For the Rest of Your Life?" by Dusty Springfield
"How Can I Tell You?" by Cat Power
"Remind Me" by Royksopp

I really like the Pepsi ad (Jimmy Fallon) w/ Streamline. Along with that very catchy tune is the sense of having clean, simple fun; regardless of age, gender, etc. I found that refreshing.

2 Ads really stick in my mind from this year
Honda Civic AD with organisms being born ("We Will Become Silhouettes" by The Postal Service)
And
Nike AD with Lebron James diving into the pool ("Summer Madness" by Kool & The Gang) This commercial was just so chill and very well done!

Outback covered the Of Montreal song, "Wraith Pinned to the Mists and Other Games." The tune is a head-sticker! :lol:

Click to expand...

I agree with this person, definitely.

Also One of those Vim commercials, with the piano and stuff playing in the background that I got to find out after finding this site that the company made that song...

Appreciate all the suggestions/help in this thread, and throughout all of the forums. Thank you to everyone that helps make the forum a (hopefully) useful place.

Too many good song suggestions to narrow down. This year seemed more about trends than specific songs dominating (beyond a few exceptions):
