Music in Commercials - What Do You Like?

LeeNetworX · 08-02-2009, 01:04 PM

There's several TV commercials I've seen over the past couple of years that use music I've never heard before that is catchy. I usually end up looking online to find out who it is and then go download other songs they perform to see if I like them.

The most recent is the Bacardi mojito commercial that uses this song:

There's also been a few Apple TV ads that have featured music I'd not heard before.

I can't be the only one. What commercials have turned you on to new music (new to you)?

A lot of Nike commercials either have new songs that I end up looking for and downloading or they have older songs that I liked before but kind of find again because of the way they used it during the commercial.

This is old but it still might be my favorite, the music is the theme from "Last of the Mohicans:"

Mercedes-Benz also tends to have good music in their commercials but unfortunately theyre mostly original pieces that you cant buy anywhere.

Two of my favorites:

The Lincoln MKZ commercial. I can't remember now what the song is, but it's something to follow up to David Bowie's Major Tom song and it's sung by Shiny Toy Guns if I remember right.

I don't dig the products, but the Axe commercials have had a few good songs that go well with the commercial. The Axe Instinct commercial is catchy.
