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).
I watched a Kohl’s commercial a few days ago and really liked the song i heard. I’m pretty sure it’s there most recent commercial. It has words on a gas station. The song has a part in it that goes “touch the sky” and theres a part where it does this like ba bababa ba ba. I can’t really explain it but if you know the songs title and singer that would be great.
i’m looking to find the song at the end of the marie antoinette trailer. it’s not the new order song (age of consent), which is in the teaser trailer. the song i’m looking for is from the full-length trailer, with audio clips from the movie. the words are something like this:
“this is why it’s unnerving, they find it all a different story”
any help would be great! thanks!
here’s a link to the trailer:

I know about the first Verizon “Chocolate” phone commercial with Goldfrapp’s “Strict Machine”(love that!) but I just saw a new commercial for the phone again but this time it’s got some other female singer.

It said in white letters(bottom left) “Lady S…and that’s all I got. After the name of who’s singing it I’m sure the name of the song is there too. If anyone get’s the whole thing please respond! THANKS!
