For once, I think I might have a topic that genuinely belongs in GQ, but I’ll err on the side of caution and put it here.

I seem to remember someone posting a site which indexed commercials and the music played on them. Can someone give me a link to that site (if it exists)? Or, if not, can anyone give me the name/artist of the song played on one of the new Mountain Dew commercials? I’m interested in the one that looks like some kind of production number; lots of shiny gold streamers and outfits. The song’s got a lot of horns in it (I know, tons of help there, but I can’t really describe it any other way).

No problem. I’m sure that there have to be other sites that offer the same information. Let me know if you find any other sources.
