The Visa commercial “Let’s Go” is using the Smashing Pumpkins classic “Today” (iTunes). Great album.

“Today” (iTunes) Lyrics
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow,
Tomorrow’s much too long
I’ll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t live for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

Geico has been running television commercials using a remake of the Rockwell song “Somebody’s Watching Me”. They’ve put a page up on their site where you can download the song for free.

Geico Somebody’s Watching Me – Free Download

Here’s a link to the original song:
Rockwell – “Somebody’s Watching Me” (iTunes)

From the I Love Ronson campaign. Doesn’t look like the music is available in the states yet – but it is in the UK. (When will bands realize in this digital age – that makes absolutely no sense).

The band is Mystery Jets and the song is Two Doors Down from the upcoming album of the same name.

Update: There is a second commercial that includes the song Unbelievable (iTunes) by the band Sleepy Rebels.

The current iPod Touch commercial is using Franz Ferdinand’s song “No You Girls” (iTunes) from the album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.

“No You Girls” lyrics (iTunes)
Ah, kiss me
Flick your cigarette and then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me
Meet me where your mind won’t kiss me
Flick your eyes and mine and then hit me
Hit me with your eyes so sweetly
Oh, you know you know you know that
Yes I love I mean I’d
Love to get to know you

Do you never wonder?
No, no no no

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Ah, kiss me
Flick your cigarette and then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me
Meet me where your mind won’t kiss me
Flick your eyes and mine so briefly
Oh you know, you know you’re so sweetly
Oh you know, you know that I know that
I love you I mean I,
I mean I need to love

Do you never wonder?
No, no no no

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls’ll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Sometimes I say stupid things I think
Well, I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Because I never wonder
Oh how the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels

No you boys never care
Oh no you boys’ll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels
No you boys never care
You dirty boys’ll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels

Oh how the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels

Energy Lyrics (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)

And the world is made of energy
and the world is electricity
and the world is made of energy
and there’s a light inside of you
and there’s a light inside of me.

And the world is made of energy
and the world is synchronicity
and the world is made of energy
and there’s a light inside of you
and there’s a light inside of me.

Chorus:
It’s gonna be all right
It’s gonna be all right uh huh yeah.
We’re gonna see the sunlight
We’re gonna see the sunlight uh huh yeah.

And the world is made of energy

Check out the commercial promoting the new Samsung Behold (Tmobile Amazon)
cell phone on T-Mobile. The song is Silly Boy by the Blue Van (iTunes)

Silly Boy lyrics (iTunes)

I might be wrong but I might be right
Anyhow I know I tried
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop

I like her taste when it fills my soul
I’ll tell you something I’ve never told anyone
Not anyone, not anyone

Everyone’s got a bleeding heart
I don’t know where or when to start
I better bleed, I better bleed
I better stop
I better bleed, I better bleed
I better stop

Silly boys
You ran away
Your unemployed
You’d waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
Your unemployed
You’d waste away

Silly boys you run away to far
Remember this remember where you are

Life is good
It’s what I see that
Makes me want to disagree
I better leave, I better leave
I better not

You might be wrong cause you know I’m right
If you lose your way you just follow mine
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop
I better leave, I better leave
I better stop

Silly boys
You ran away
Your unemployed
You’d waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
Your unemployed
You’d waste away

You run away, you’re unemployed, waste away

Silly boys
You ran away
Your unemployed
You’d waste away

The current Sears Kenmore commercial is using the song “Imaginary Girl (Amazon MP3)
“by The Silver Seas album High Society (Amazon MP3).

Imaginary Girl Lyrics (Amazon MP3)
Imaginary Girl,
This is a song for you
Sorry it took forever
I know it’s really nothing,
It was the least I could do
Better late than never

I was stranded in the middle of the night
I was washed out to sea
Out of the water,
You appear like a dream to me
And I wanna thank you…

Imaginary Girl,
You really blow my mind
You got to be joking
I know I dream a lot,
But I could do it full time
If the position was open

Things have changed since you came my way
You gave me something to live for
Darkened the night and brightened up my day, yeah…
And I wanna thank you…

Imaginary Girl,
This is a song for you.
Be mine forever.
I really need to know that if you feel this too,
It’s gotta be now or never
Got to be now or never…
It’s gotta be now or never…

Imaginary Girl,
This is a song for you…

The current LL Bean holiday commercial is using Fountains Of Wayne – Valley Winter Song (iTunes) from their album Welcome Interstate Managers (Amazon MP3)
.

Fountains Of Wayne – Valley Winter Song (iTunes) lyrics
Hey Sweet Annie
Don’t take it so bad
You know the summer’s coming soon
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

Your daddy told you
When you were a girl
The kind of things that come to those who wait
So give it a rest girl
Take a deep breath girl
And meet me at the Bay State tonight

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it’s been falling all day long
What else is new
What could I do
I wrote a valley winter song
To play for you

And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut

Remember New York
Staring outside
As reckless winter made its way
From Staton Island to the Upper West Side
Whiting out our streets along the way

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it’s been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you

I’ve been looking for this commercial music. Looks like it might be Ingrid Michaelson. The commercial is below along with the lyrics. If you know for sure it’s her, please respond in the comments section.

Give just a little of yourself to me
My heart is in the moment
My hands are to here to give to you

“Your a Wolf” Lyrics (iTunes)
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”

I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low,
Cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”

Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”

Artist: Brandi Carlile
Track: “The Story (iTunes) | “The Story” (Amazon MP3)

The Story lyrics – (iTunes)
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you
