From a thread on MetaFilter, songs in commercials are becoming a phenomenon all their own — Cadillac is even becoming popular with some younger buyers due to their use of a Zepplin song in an ad.
There’re also websites that help people figure out the artists that performed songs heard in commercials. At first, I was happy to discover SongTitle.info as there’s one song from a GMC Yukon commercial that I’m still trying to track down (the commercial featured the hulking beasts driving in choreographed circles, synchronized-swimming style).
SongTitle has an entry for “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby & The Romantics (with a link to a sound sample) for the Yukon. But, after listening, I ruled that one out. I don’t hold it against SongTitle, but I suppose they just don’t have the details for that particular commercial.
Even Volkswagen has a CD of collected songs from its commercials. Some of the more obvious ones — such as Mr. Roboto — are on there, but I may just get it to discover some new techno artists (good techo is just so hard to find these days).
Nevermind i found it.
The song is Lesson No.1 By Viva Voce.
Their music is actually pretty awesome.
just wanted to say thanks, ;-} ‘preciate it….
Does anyone know the name of the song for a small suv type vehicle, Isuzu maybe, where its driving past other types of suv’s and they turn to dust, or break down or fall apart when the suv passes by and its sung by a guy with a really haunting mellow sound.
It aired in December/January I believe. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I found it. It was for Subaru’s Tribeca and the song is called, Dust In The Wind by Kansas. Good stuff.

there is an animal planet commercial that shows a tree frog as its jumping from a tree and the commercial says “imagine a world that is inhabited by little green men that can fly” after that its a song that starts with 4 3 2 1 and i think its from the 80’s i dont know it if that helps but its a animal planted commercial advertising animal planet.
I am looking for a song from a very recent (Jan/Feb 2006) cingular razr commercial that goes something like: “…and I like it…”. Female, breathy vocals. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
479 – mel, the song you’re looking for is Strange Effect by Hooverphonic, 1998. Was used in a number of “alternative” shows in the late 90’s early 2000’s (like La Femme Nikita).
Now – could someone identify the song used in the Wal-mart commercial? Lyrics something like “Here we are in the moment; what is ours is golden”? My wife is driving me BUGGY about it!
Okay, so I just found out something mui ugly!
That *!^#(* song on the Wal-mart commercial isn’t even a (expletive deleted) song!
So wifey has me looking all over the (expletive deleted) inter-(expletive deleted)-net for a song that doesn’t even friggin’ EXIST! According to what I’ve found out, there ain’t even a full song — it’s just a little ditty that wal-mart threw together in order to torture husbands into wasting their ‘net time looking futiley for songs just to please our (fill in any blank you want!) wives by stumbling around in the dark!
Rant over, you are now returned to your regularly scheduled blog, already in progress …
