swankymodes Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 CIV "Can't Wait One Minute More" in a Nissan commercial Despistado "A Stirstick's Prediction" in a Sprint wireless commercial, just the intro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Watch some of these appear in a "10 Essential..." edit : and I hate to be "THAT GUY" that uses every opportunity to mention how he doesn't have TV.... but I don't have cable or satellite or anything. I did, however, see a Wendy's commercial a few months ago with "Blister In The Sun" in it. That's the most inappropriate commercial use of a song since "Lust For Life" in the Carnival Cruise Lines commercials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I heard All American Rejects - "Move Along" in a Ford commercial last night. Scott, you should message Mike about it if you're writing something on song placement in commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Despistado "A Stirstick's Prediction" in a Sprint wireless commercial, just the intro that was an interesting one. they made a real good amount of money, considering they only used ten second of the 'song'.

steventangent Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I remember last year (or maybe the year before) Coca Cola wanted to use Jonah Matranga/New End Original's song "Lukewarm". Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefwahoo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The song by the Transplants that was in the shampoo commercial is definitely one of the most surprising. I know it didn't debut in the past year, but they were definitely still airing it in 2007 because I just saw it a month or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Of Montreal just signed up for a T-Mobile commercial.
