I've just discovered a website I wish I'd seen months ago, where you can look up the music tracks used in TV ads if you don't know them or can't remember the title or artist. You can even play audio clips of some of the tracks on the lists. It's:
Mike.
I used the link but I couldn't find the track I was looking for. :cry:
Thanks to Mike for pointing this out: TV commercials have utilised some excellent music.
The car companies have used some real classics (best, Janice Joplin -'Mercedes Benz, closely followed by 'The Passenger' by Iggypop, Citroen)
Levi have been the most consistent in using top tracks (best, 'Sarabande' by Handel, followed by 'The Joker' by Steve Miller)
Mobile phone companies are catching up fast, e.g 'Bohemian like You', Dandy Warhols.
Award for most memorable goes to NSPCC for advert using a beautiful rendition of 'Silent Night', overlaid by sounds of children being abused. came out at Christmas, about four/five years ago??
However, top track must be 'Slip into Something Comfortable' by 'Kinobe', as used in the Kronenbourg advertisement in which the gorgeous young lady, carrying Kronenbourg, causes butcher to cut fingers off, roadman to put pick through foot etc
Anyone care to nominate any others?
can anybody tell me what advert played The Loving Spoonful, Summer in the City
