I hadn't seen that Cadillac commericial before, but I was just listening to Phoenix's "1901" after it popped up MySpace radio and thinking what a catchy song that is! I love the bass. I don't want a Cadillac though, so the commercial failed. But it does make me want to hear more songs by Phoenix.

Speaking of car commercials introducing someone to music...

Many years ago I remember being enthralled by a commercial that showed some fancy luxury car weaving in and out among giant, swinging spheres dangling from cables. I couldn't have cared less about the car (maybe I would have paid more attention if it had been a Mustang). But the background MUSIC...ahh! I loved that music. It made a great impression on me...

Prokofiev - "Dance of the Knights"
(Imagine giant, ominously swinging spheres as you listen)

Then of course there is Trio's "Da Da Da" from the VW commericials. Those wacky Germans! I've always liked this song:
