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).
1217 Did you find the title of the Dale Earnhardt Jr Wrangler jean commercial? I’d like to know myself. It aired a year or two ago and went something like this,”Fastlane… she got me runnin, …she was in it” Please someone help!!!!!!
Im trying to figure out who sings a song I believe it;s a chevy commercial, some of the words are we need the bump gotta have the bump I think, please help losing my mind.

#2051 – John/Jane: The song in the new Geico commercial — where the caveman is in the airport and passes by his own billboard — its by Röyksopp and its called “Remind Me”, off the album Melody A.M. Great album.
ashley,
Go to the Pontiac’s website. They have an intro and the song playing in the background I think is the song you are talking about from the G6 commercial. It’s called “Gold” by Klee. It’s from their album Honeysuckle.
Hmm seems that when I searched for it just now to download they band happens to be German and the song is sung in German by a woman…the album is called “Je langer je lieber”. They must have done an English version for Pontiac with some guy singing it instead. I’m gonna go see if I can find the English version somewhere now!
Okay last post tonight I swear! I found the Cd on amazon with Honeysuckle as the album name and they do an English version of “Gold”. Maybe it is a woman singing it in the commercial? I’ll have to wait til I see in t.v. again to know for sure.
Anybody here know the name of the song playing in the new Nike Basketball commercial with all of the guys hanging around the pool, (I think it’s the same guy, but I am not sure), and the well kept man does a fancy dive into the pool?

It’s a LeBron commercial … I just saw it again …
The song in the new pontiac commercial is not the one by Klee. Its a guy singing it and its in english. This has been drivin me crazy too so please somebody help!!
It is by Klee as the Pontiac’s website states. Maybe some guy did it only for the commerical. Kinda like what Fanny Pack did for Old Navy. Maybe try conacting Pontiac?

Ive heard this song AND THE SINGER/ARTIST WHATEVER IS NARRATING THE SONG HE SOUNDS REALLY FOLKSY ITS SOUNDS LIVE BECAUSE THE AUDIENCE STARTS CLAPPING..

ANY THING CLOSE IS A HELP THANX
