Commercials with music you like?

[k in IA]

I like the "rubber band man" commercials with the guy with the afro dancing his way through the office and now all over the place for back to school.

The new Sprint commercials with the 70'ish style music - "Sprint is in their, Sprint is in their, etc. etc." - although I may be OD'ing on it because they play it constantly on the cable news channels. I like when they get to the fast part.

Anybody else have any commercials they are happy to see when they come on?

7. "Ascent" by Brian Eno

...made it into a recent ad I saw just the other night. Was so thrilled just to be hearing the song I can't even remember who the ad was for.

11. It is a Subway commercial

Ascent - from Eno's "Apollo", with Brian & Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois.

Three of the nicest guys you could meet (and I have).

Apollo was a soundtrack done for a NASA retrospective film on the Apollo missions.

Simply beautiful etherial pedal steel work by Roger E.



Nice pick, djeseru. :thumbsup:

10. Some sort of arthritis pill

I keep thinking the music is from "A Beautiful Mind". Did anyone else hear it?

12. The new Chevy ad with all the SUV's crashing out of the sky

It's weird they would use that image to promote "new innovative ideas" but there is something soothing about the music as you watch all those SUV's smashing into the ground.

17. The music in that Nissan ad...

It's a SUV but I like the song, something about "...on a rocket" anyone know the song?

18. There was a commercial for an Asian brand SUV two years ago

I think it was Lexus. The commercial showed dramatized clips of the design and "rugged testing" of the model. The background music was this incredible cello solo piece (accompanied by a violin, I believe). No one I asked could identify the piece, so I came to the conclusion it was self-composed and performed.
