I got [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaEhYhXGhA4) from a Toyota commercial. I never saw [this Nike one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsP0W7-tEOc) on TV, but I liked the sentiment, especially since I work out regularly. ---

This first one was used in a promo for a TV show. “I Can’t Get You Off my Mind” by Miss Li. Very cool song.

ETA just looked it up, it was Verizon. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/p1Pucpi8cvo/maxresdefault.jpg "Ladyhawke | Blue Eyes (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1Pucpi8cvo) I know I must live under a rock because the first time I heard “Happy” by Pharrell was in a TV commercial. I know some people make fun of it but I love that song. ---

Donovans’ [Catch the Wind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8hjEYTpwE8) from [a GE commercial](https://www.google.com/search?q=catch+the+wind+commercial&oq=catch+the+wind+in+com&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.11249j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8). In the early days of my days of my relationship with my husband, it was kind of “our” song… I haven’t listened to it in ages… thanks for posting this thread, I’m gonna go hug him now. ---

It’s happened a few times for me. The song “No Sleep Tonight” by The Faders came to my attention thanks to an iTunes commercial. “Tongue Tied” by Grouplove was in an iPod touch commercial. And I was compelled to track down “Red Light Love” by Those Darlins after it was used in a spot for the Kia Sorento. ---

From movie and videogame trailers all the time, those are basically commercials. ---

[Y Desacher](https://youtu.be/KKzWeuO591U) by Argentine Marilina Bertoldi was used for a Volkswagen commercial. I was watching the commercial and was like “by golly, that song kinda rocks”. ---

I ran into Glitter and Gold by Barns Courtney when it was used in the trailer for The Founder, and Way Down We Go (and Kaleo in general) courtesy of a trailer for [Logan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiQRPQnfvL0). ---

I love that song! I discovered it on the Netflix series - Safe with Michael C. Hall. I immediately downloaded it to my Amazon playlist. ---

[Mr. Oizo - B Flat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTG9ae7EYHM) a Levi’s commercial I still think about. Theres a car commercial playing now using Motorhead’s cover of Sympathy for the Devil, knew about it before but it rekindled my love for that song.
