Folks,
Have any of you seen the Advance Auto Parts televison commercial showing a variety of persons changing the air filters on their cars with The Hollies singing "All I need is the air that I breathe" in the background? Such a great fit for a song - really clever. I hope this link works:
Advance Auto Parts
Any other songs in commercials that you like? I wish Patti's idea for Jiffy Lube to use Ellis' "3000 Miles" would happen.

Songs in TV commercials
"Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see." -- Ann Patchett in Bel Canto.

Also the post office used Woody's "Mail Myself to You." It's been a while since I've heard that, though.
And Emily, don't forget another of my favorites (and I'm sure yours as well!) is Oklahoma Blood Institute's commercial with "The World Ain't Slowin' Down" in it. A portion of it is on the website at:
Oklahoma Blood Institute
For a while, I used to hear Patty Griffin's song "Rain" on commercials for St. Anthony's Hospital in OKC. (I think it was this particular hospital if I'm remembering correctly)

Eliot Morris, you remember him, the guy I used to think was Adam Duritz in disguise.......his song "This Colorful World" was used in a commercial for Crayola Crayons.
and btw....Eliot's musical style and voice, while CC influenced and AD like, still rings true enough.....file under must hear for fans of Counting Crows.

Little did we know, when we started this discussion about songs in commercials, that we would someday hear Antje Duvekot singing over a national ad for Bank Of America.
Though I haven't seen it in a while now....it's still way cool!!!
Congrats again to Antje Duvekot & co.
