I guess it's not too difficult to find a song that makes you want to lay on a beach with a corona. Regardless, this song certainly does the job. It starts a little slow, but it's definitely easy on the ears and worth a listen. so grab a corona, put on this song and go lay on a beach. or just study for finals like real life people.
This song is pure badassness. If this song tickles your fancy we highly recommend their album, "Passive Me, Aggressive You". We saw it in this GMC Terrain Commercial, but it's also gained popularity through FIFA 12' and apparently the Vampire Diaries..we don't watch that bullshit..heard it from a friend..seriously.
This song has been around a while, but don't be surprised if it makes a comeback as a result of this ad. This song by Johnny Cash is actually a cover of the original Nine Inch Nails version.
I have loved this song since I first heard it in a Original Skateboards video, now it was featured in a new series of I AM NIKON commercials. I don't know much about cameras, but the song made me want to buy a Nikon. The commercial is pretty sweet too.
Never heard of these guys, but the Lowes commercial is great publicity. Sorry for getting this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Totally want to mow a lawn right now.
Now we don't claim to be the first to hear this, or even that it's unknown. This song is already all over the place. The thing is, we think it's just starting. It reminds me of Adele cementing her fame with her SNL performance last year. Previous to that she was only known to heartbroken girls who were too mature for Taylor Swift.
If you want people to buy whatever you're selling, put this song in the damn commercial. I've heard it in a Kia Sorrento commercial, a Miller Lite commercial, the Horrible Bosses Trailer, and now here. The rated R trailer is worth watching, but the song starts around 2:40.
Just when you think the bandwagon for KONY 2012 is full, they roll out with a part II. I assume this video will blow up shortly and the song featured will be along for the ride. We've been listening to this bad boy for a while, mostly because we live in dorms full of college kids blasting this shit all the time. The beat drops around 18:30 in the video.
Google uploaded this video today for their new "Project Glass", it looks pretty amazing. The song used isn't well known yet but its getting there, so check it out while its fresh. It's a little slower but still has potential.
This is just the latest in a long list of admittedly catchy songs in apple commercials. Tongue Tied is the epitome of a song that blew up after this exposure, the reason for this blog. I die a little inside every time I admit to liking one of these damn commercials.
