I can't remember which company, but I saw a car commercial a few months ago that used "Bohemian Like You" by the Dandy Warhols. I was not amused.
The commercials themselves don't annoy me... but the fact that my 15 year old cousin refers to some of my favorite songs as "the (insert company name here) commercial" is a bit irritating.
There is one commercial I like that uses a song... again, I don't remember the company, but the one where the couple is in a parking lot; the girl is sitting outside, looking bored and somewhat annoyed, the guy is sitting in the car listening to American Pie, and later makes a comment (when he gets out of the car and joins his girlfriend) that you have to listen to the WHOLE SONG. It was nice to know I'm not the only one who does that
