This would make a good subject for a thread. it's true, nowadays you are constantly bombarded with music everywhere and it's not just corporate jingles anymore, given enough time your favorite songs from your favorite band will most likely end up in a tv commercial even if you never thought pop culture would like that sorta band.

Like, you tell me, what the hell is 'Where is my mind' by the pixies doing in a frickin Uncharted commercial?
