From Portugal. The band is called M.A.U. The song is called "No Worries In Frame". Here is the complete song (and video, featuring some people I actually know in person ;)).

"walking on sunshine" has been used about a dozen times- I'm so tired of hearing it in commercials.

Cat Power's "The Greatest" is being used in a commercial for a Garnier shampoo in Italy. It kind of disturbed me...

The Garnier ad's in Britain are again featuring The Transplants 'Diamonds And Guns'

Yael Naim - "New Soul"

About a year late posting that, but yes. Made the song explode here in the States. She's basically a one hit wonder here thanks to that commercial. I remember when it hit #1 on iTunes. I can't remember its Hot 100 peak. #4, maybe? Or was it #7. It was one of the two. I also remember my local CHR playing the hell out of it! It wasn't very long after that The Ting Tings' "Shut Up and Let Me Go" was used in another Apple commercial, and it too got big. Not as big as "New Soul" got, but fairly decent. Of course this may of helped radio take notice is "That's Not My Name" a few months later, which made The Ting Tings get their first real hit in the States. Oddly enough, SUALMG did worse than NS digitally, but SUALMG peaked in the top 40 on Mediabase. NS only got to the top 60. I believe AC, AAA, and Hot AC may of covered enough ground for NS to put it over, though.

Let's not forget the annoying Geico commercials. Luckily I'm not hearing that song on the radio.

I also know Target was using "Calabria 2007" by Enur in their adds a few months ago. They also aired one with "Lovebug" by Jonas Brothers the same time, too. >:(
