This ad caught my attention. Just saw it on Comedy Central a few moments ago.

Love the song.

New Absolut Vodka ad using New Order's [i]Ceramony[/i], and it sounds like a remake by those Fall On Your Sword guys... Maybe this time they'll be more info on the cover band...

Nice to hear more than a few notes of the song being played...[:)]

I've seen the new Lincoln MKT ad a few times now featuring a cover of The Church's "Under The Milkyway" with a female singer, and if I'm hearing it correctly, The Clash's "Straight To Hell" song somewhat remixed on the ads for Michael Moore's new flick: "Capitalism: A Love Story." [:D]

I don't mind NW songs being covered and used in ads. But I wish Joe Jackson's "One More Time" was used to pitch something of higher quality than Taco Bell. [xx(]

Agreed Plag., I heard it today while watching Spike Channel, and came running into the house from the front porch to see why Joe Jackson was on the tube, and then I saw the rotating Taco Bell logo... [:(]

^^^ Nope not yet...

There is a slow-mo version of Peter Schilling's "Verlich Losgeloest," or as well call it in the states, "Coming Home" for another Cadillac commercial. And the best one:

The Cars' "Moving in Stereo" for Penzoil motor oil! [:D]

Can't find the clip but Elastica's Connection is being used in a new Citibank commercial. Weird.

Can't believe I just heard Tenpole Tudors "Swords of a thousand men" in a spot for a soccer video game.
