1. Nick Drake - "Pink Moon" (from a VW Cabrio ad): A lot of hipsters will tell you that they actually knew who Nick Drake was before this commercial came out. About 80% of them are lying through their assholes.
2. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - "Beggin" (from an Adidas ad): This is a really groovy remix of an old 60's tune. Why Katy Perry's at this party, i have no idea.
3. ELO - "Mr. Blue Sky" (from another VW ad): I adore this song. The Delgados did a pretty decent cover of it a few years ago, but nothing tops the original.
4. The Walkmen - "We've Been Had" (Saturn ad): Nobody knew these indie darlings until this commercial came out. I would later find out that members of this band had also been in Jonathan Fire Eater. Far out.
5. The Orb - "Little Fluffy Clouds" (from yet another VW commercial): Yeah, i already knew this song. But, i had totally forgotten about it.
So, what lesson have we learned here today? Watch more television. We're commercial kids and we didn't even know it.
