Default Re: Songs in TV Ads

I used to curse the ad company's for "stealing" classic tracks to flog their products, but I've come to terms with it now. it can bring a new audience to the music as well so that's a good thing...I keep telling myself.

The Wrigley's ad was a good 'un, nearly all the Levis' ads were great too, I especially liked this one:

YouTube - "Creek" Levi's 501 commercial - "Inside" by Stiltskin

Gorgeous photography, spot-on editing and funny to boot!

Another favourite is the Dunlop tyres ad that uses The Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs". Totally over the top cod-surreal imagery, but so different to anything else that was around at the time:

YouTube - Dunlop - Tested for the unexpected
