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

How about the most annoying? Most overplayed? Unusual? Trends?

It's weird, the new diamond commercial with Landon Pigg is following the exact same "you can tell us the answer, but we still won't get it" trend as the previous one. Maybe we'll create a Cat Power award around that.

"Unwritten" gets my vote in this category.
I have even become averse to feeling the rain on my own skin.

Most annoying definitely goes to the iPod Touch "Music is my Hot Hot Sex" by CSS.
cringe!

Best Holiday commercial song = All That I Want by The Weepies from the JC Penney commercial

BEST COMMERCIAL SONG OF 2007 must be "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson from the Old Navy Sweaters commercial. The song never gets old...

 

[codeman38]

Speaking of jewelry ads, surely I'm not the only one who's getting tired of hearing that Vanessa Carlton song in every Zales commercial?

Hmmm, remind me not to go to any of your parties.



My vote for most annoying is that really obnoxious up-tempo jazz version of "deck the halls" they play on what I think is a Lincoln car commercial.

Does anyone remember examples of musicians who actually appeared in commercials from the past year? (Examples: Gwen Stefani for HP, Beyonce for DirecTV, etc.)

 

[leone]

Also Beyonce for American Express. Actually there were a couple of celebs for AmEx: Ellen Degeneres, Tiny Fey... Does this count?

Lexus with John Legend, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall. (Wait, was it this year or last?)

HP also had Jerry Seinfeld and Petra Nemcova.

 

[jca]

Yeah, we also had Lexus with John Legend, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall and Slash for Guitar Hero 3.

We're looking for musicians, not celebs, who appear in ads if you can think of any others.

love "le disko" by shiny toy guns in the verizon ads.

and i know this isn't popular, but i love the song "stars" by hum in the cadillac ads.

i absolutely HATE the 1,2,3,4 song by feist in the ipod ads.
