<br>Just heard the Toyata Saved By Zero 0% financing commercial last night. Right now though, I'm scarfing a burrito at Chipotle Grill in Somerville MA listening to Da Da Da...hilarious. Oddly, it's got me pumped up for the Fleet Foxes gig next door.

Too bad it's not The Fixx, but some crappy cover...

<br>Tileboy mentioned the Morrissey NFL Network ad. I've been hearing that one a lot, since I watch the games every weekend. Sounds almost country, I wonder who remade that one.

Could it be the 're-make' by The Bus Boys??? www.busboys.com/

This cover version is soooo bad. It's rotten, lame, horrible, crappy, shameful, stupid, ridiculous, etc...

<br>hey, this happened many more years ago...it really started with the Listerine commercial. The used tarzan boy by baltimora for the cool mint listerine.I was jumping for joy when i heard that. I wondered if Baltimora got to see the day or money from that before he passed away..

Oh, that stand by zero sounds horrible, should have used the fixx...

I remember last year sometime Dell was promoting a new line of computers using Devo's 'Watch us Work It' with Asian girls in the commercial. I also remember back in 2003, Nickelodeon released a Spongebob Squarepants clothing line and Men without Hats' 'Safety Dance' was unabashedly butchered. Imagine hearing 'You can Spongebob if you want to' as opposed to the classic verse 'We can dance if you want to'. Very Sad.

NFL.com commercials now have snippets of an "Every Day Is Like Sunday" cover. Kinda funny. I can just picture Morrissey being a huge football fan.

<br>Theres this song in the geico cavemen commercial that sounds New Wavish. Im trying to figure out who did that song. I dont think its actually 80s material

That would be "Don't Want To Hurt You" by The Sounds

A few new ones I've seen, but can only remember one right now:

The new 'Old Navy' ads are using Bow Wow Wow's version of [i]I Want Candy[/i] in their latest TV ads. The song was written and recorded by The Strangeloves in 1965. Reached Number 11 on the chart.

Just now, I heard The Cars "Let's Go" in a Lee's commercial. Don't know if that was mentioned or not yet.

I am so glad the old navy commercial used BOW WOW WOW version, not like the Toyota remake of saved by zero...

Unfortunately, I did too. It was so bad, I would rather hear the "Saved By Zero" commercial.

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Once, I actually saw a french fries commercial that used The Stranglers' Golden Brown.[:0]

[glokstadt]

Last night an ad for the BIG movie: "Notorious." Could of swore they played Duran Duran just singing the word "Notorious!" [:p]
