Commercial Soundtracks (Updated)

I also am mixing a CD composed entirely of songs that appear in television commercials. This gives quite a variety as older bands license songs to make money, while younger bands do it to get airplay and boost sales. A prime example of the latter is Dirty Vegas, whose license with Mitsubishi really paid off.

So far I have the following songs qued up to burn, and they're quite good so far. Just need a few more til I burn it.

1) Cherub Rock (Smashing Pumpkins) - Major League Baseball)
2) Days Go By (Dirty Vegas) - Mitsubishi
3) Lose Yourself (Eminem) - Apple iPod
4) Whip it (Devo) - Swiffer
5) Baby got Back (Sir Mix Alot) - Target Back to School
6) Pictures of You (The Cure) - HP
7) 100 Years (Five for Fighting) - JP Morgan
8) Do You Want My Way (The Who) - Monster
9) Just What I Needed (The Cars) - Circuit City
10) Jane Says (Jane's Addiction) - Jack Daniels
11) Supterstitious (Stevie Wonder) - Levi's
12) Under Pressure (Queen) - Zales
13) Take Me Out (Franz Ferdinand) - Sony PSP
14) Sweet Melissa (The Allman Brothers) - Cingular
15) The Boys are Back in Town (Thin Lizzy) - Wrangler Jeans
16) Dust in the Wind (Kansas) - Subaru B9 Tribeca
17) No Sleep Tonight (The Faders) - iTunes + Cingular

As always, suggestions and help on this topic are welcome.

    The song titled Solta O Frango is performed by Bonde Do RolĂȘ , a band from Brazil. The music came from their first album (2007), titled With Lasers.
