Music in Commercials – Part 4

It has been a few weeks since my last Music in Commercials post. I think it due time for another. This week has a little less continuity than week but I have found some cool ones.

Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) – Hello Tomorrow (Adidas)

First off I picked an Adidas commercial with music from Karen O. It’s a pretty cool commercial and the dark theme fits well with Hello Tomorrow. I like the weirdness of this commercial. It is definitely on of my favorite commercials I have covered so far.

Update: I just checked this song is actually by Squeak E. Clean ft. Karen O

Silversun Pickups – Well Thought Out Twinkles (Pontiac)

Next we have a Pontiac commercial from Silversun Pickups. The commercial, like most others, is pretty generic. It’s a good song though so I can enjoy it. Another good song to add to the long list of boring car commercials.

Aphex Twin – 4 (Some anti-drug organization)

If you know who Aphex Twin are, I’m sure you will have a good laugh at this ad. Seems a little ironic to pick them for the music of an Anti-Drug commercial. That said, it is an antu-drug ad I am paying more attention too. Good job random Anti-Drug organization. This is more of what I imagine when I think of when I think of Aphex Twin.

Aphex Twin’s website states:

The Aphex Twin’s favourite drugs, in order of preference: grass/hash, mushrooms, coffee, tea, Ventolin, aspirin. At a festival last week, he licked a little too much liquid acid off his hand, then had to spend the night convincing his mate, who’d similarly indulged, that they were in a field, not standing on the edge of a hypodermic needle. He wasn’t very successful. Have his tastes changed as he’s got older?’Only in as much as I know what not to take when I’m going to see my parents.’
