Best commercial ad song?

The Nissan Titan ad that was played during the 2004 Superbowl (?)... Had a killer tune with it and it was made just for the commercial

 

[Scorps65]

mad world-gary jules.. song from gears of war.

 

[supri]

The song that brought me here doesn't have an official title, but it's being called "How Do I Get To You?" on the thread:
http://adtunes.com/forums/index.php?showto...=clothing&st=25

It's a funky rock song played during a Macy's ad for their I.N.C. clothing line which would play often during Project Runway 3 on Bravo.

Others:
"Do Ya" by Peaches for Gap denim
"I Turn my Camera On" by Spoon for Jaguar
"What Are You Doing the Rest of your Life?" by Dusty Springfield for Journey Diamond Jewelry
"Bo Mambo" by Yma Sumac for Kahlua (why I came here again today!)

A song I knew but saw it on a commercial and fell in love again:
"Angel" by Massive Attack used for an older Adidas ad

And some more that have been mentioned already:
The "Mahna Mahna" song for Dr Pepper - Diet Cherry & Vanilla
"Breathe" by Telepopmusik for Mitsubishi
"Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas, also for for Mitsubishi
"Da Da Da" by Trio for Volkswagen
"A Million Miles Away" by J. Ralph for Volkwagen
"Red Alert" by Basement Jaxx for Coke
"Starry-Eyed Surprise" by Paul Oakenfold for Coke
"Galvanize" by the Chemical Bros. for Budweiser (ew)
"Galang" by M.I.A. for Honda Civic

Well, one of my favorites is still "Lacrimosa" from the Spiderman 2 Trailer. It's the song that brought me to this website!

^_^;; Do songs from trailers count in this thread?

[Supdoggs21]

yeah, i think the eclipse commercials are revolutionary

first the best one is "days go bye" by Dirty Vegas

second its gotta be Clubbed to death by rob duggan

third is a pretty recent one - its "mad world" by gary jules (also in Donnie Darko)

these are probably some of the most popular ones i know

I am looking for the greatest tv commercial music, you the people think, rank number 1. This is for my own personal use. I may find something/anything out there that I may not already have in my arsenal on iTunes. I love Don't Cha by The Pussycat Dolls for Heineken.

 

[doctormemory]

"Miles and Miles" by Dee (Ford Edge)
"Love Today" by Mika (MTV Shows)
"Out of Control" by Kenna (Sony PSP)
"Wraith Pinned to the Mists" by Of Montreal (Outback Steakhouse)

.. to name a few of the many.

 

[nitbob3]

Everyone has their own opinion that's for sure. Miles and Miles by Dee (Ford Edge) & Out of Control by Kenna (Sony PSP) aren't bad, but not my faves by any means.

 

[bonafidetart]

all the target ads! hahaa

"i turn my camera on" - spoon (jaguar commercial)
"number one" - goldfrapp (target)
"say something new" - the concretes (target)
"all possibilities" - badly drawn boy (target)
"natural's not in it" - gang of four (marie antoinette dvd)
"hangin on the telephone" - cat power (cingular)
"walk the line" - megan wyler (levi's)
"huddle formation" - the go team (honda)

 

[unknownsidhu]

Télépopmusik - Breathe - Mitsubishi
Paul Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise - Diet Coke

The Who's Teenage Wasteland playing on the commercial for Saved on TNT brought me to this site.

that song is actually called Baba O'Reilly. its a common mistake. [/b][/quote]
Baba O'Riley

 

[thesassycynic]

Well, without correcting anyone's spelling errors, I'd have to say that the Patrick and Eugene song "The Birds and The Bees" from the VW Rabbit commercial is the coolest ad song. Or, to take it back to the old school, that old car commercial with Trio's "Da Da Da". THAT song kicks ass.

 

[spcook]

Songs I specifically hunted down after hearing them in commercials:

"Theme from Harry's Game" by Clannad

"20th Century Boy" by T-Rex

"Boy Or Girl" by Astrid

"If I Knew Then" by the Small Faces

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet

In most cases, the songs led me to whole albums. In fact, commercials are my main source of new music.

 

[NewYorkRoots]

I'm a sucker for songs from all those darn cell phone commercials from the past two years. Which of course, brought me here.

"Remind Me" by Royksopp for the Geico Commercial-Caveman Walking Through The Airport.

"Turning Japanese" by The Vapors for Dr. Pepper.

This is my opinion of the bestest TV Commercial Music of all time. There are probably many more I left out that I can not think of right now or others people like/love more/better than me/I do. Rob

Cobrastyle by Teddybears -- could not get this song out of my head. Fox played it for Bones during the World Series. And Remind Me by Royksopp -- the caveman ad from Geico. I wouldn't have known either of these groups without the ads.
