I'm suprised nobody mentioned the Wrangler jeans commercials with "Favored Son". They pretty much ignored the whole intent of the song (the disparity between rich and middle class/poor in Vietnam) and made it out to be some ultra-patriotic theme.
And I do think having your music in commercials can hurt your artistic integrity. If you aren't that well known, you risk becoming "the VW commercial guy" or something to that effect.
