What about the "Ferris Bueller"/Honda commercial?
That ad used "Oh Yeah" by Yello.
paul Monday, February 06, 2012
Check it out. It's up there.
Jay Monday, February 06, 2012
In the Toyota Camry ad, "It's Reinvented" you've missed a song. It also has a clip of Lionel Ritchie, "All Night Long".
paul Monday, February 06, 2012
Right! The part with the blender, I'll add it.
Jay Monday, February 06, 2012
Sorry, my spelling is incorrect. It's Lionel Richie.
JMB Monday, February 06, 2012

I know I know, i should have more important things to do but, i had thought that it was Levels by Avicii instead of the Flo Rida version on the Bud light commercial?
paul Monday, February 06, 2012
You're right.

Marvelled that Willis is in the Fiat ad but does this mean anything for the band outside of licensing pay?

There was one song in an ad that I swear was a ripoff of a John Butler Trio song. Can't remember exactly which song - might have been "Zebra"
