Even if you didn't watch the Super Bowl yesterday, the commercials are something you can't avoid. You'll probably be hearing about them, or talking about them at work today. And, from what we noticed many of the ads this year had recognizable songs featured in them.

Today for the 9:30 Coffee Break we want you to name the songs and the Super Bowl ad that they appear in.

Songs played:
Echo and the Bunnymen "The Killing Moon" Audi Vampire Commercial

Yello "Oh Yeah" Ferris Bueller Honda commercial

The Cult "She Sells Sanctuary" Budweiser's "Eternal Optimism" commercial

Fun (feat. Janelle Monae) "We are Young" Chevy Sonic "Stunt Anthem" commercial

I hate to admit it, because I wasn't really into it when it was popular, but A Thing Called Love by The Darkness was in the samsung ad.

Additionally, one of my HS classmates was in the ad.

I Believe in a Thing Called Loved by The Darkness was in a Samsung commercial. Are they trying to make a comeback?!

Posted by Megan | February 6, 2012 9:09 AM

I hate to sound like a broken record but the "Ferris Bueller" commercial was by far the best. "Oh Yeah" by Yellow.

I also recall hearing "Power" from Kanye West in a beer ad of some sort.

"Kick Start My Heart" by Motley Crue on the Kia Optima commercial!

"Kickstart My Heart" -- Mötley Crüe (KIA "Mr. Sandman" spot)
"I Believe in a Thing Called Love" -- The Darkness (Samsung Galaxy spot)

The darkness in the Samsung ad. One of my all time favorite songs.

Not sure if it's in your library but..
"Smokescreen" - Willis

This song was played in the FIAT 500 Abarth commercial. One of the more clever ads in my opinion.

"We are Young" by Fun featuring Janell Monae. It was in the Chevy commercial where the car was bungee jumping.

Posted by Lindsey | February 6, 2012 9:26 AM

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" - The Animals. (H&M underwear commercial)
Love that they used The Animals for the song!!

Posted by Christy | February 6, 2012 9:26 AM

and Skrillex was in one commercial. Awesome, but I forget which one. music from "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites"

Needing/Getting by Ok Go advertising both their new music video and Chevy.

The new music video associated with this advertisement is Ok Go's most ridiculous yet. 55 pianos?

"What'd I Say" byt Ray Charles was in a commercial--maybe for the NFL?

Yes! I couldn't remember the name of the song with Fun and Janelle Monae, but that is the only one I remember from last night. (I didn't really catch much of the game or the commercials this year.) But thanks for the reminder.
