Super Bowl Commercial Songs, 2016

[Carl]

Here are the Super Bowl commercial songs we spotted:

Queen "Another One Bites The Dust" (Hyundai)
Queen - "Somebody To Love" (Honda)
Aerosmith - "Dream On" (Skittles)
Guns N' Roses - "Welcome To The Jungle" (Taco Bell)
David Bowie - "Starman" (Audi)
Ja'net Dubois "Movin' On Up (Theme to The Jeffersons)" (Apartments.com)
Van Halen - "Runnin' With The Devil" (Acura)
Beastie Boys - "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Salt-N-Pepa - "Whatta Man" (Hyundai)
Sugarhill Gang - "Jump on It!" (Toyota)
Screamin' Jay Hawkins - "Little Demon" (Fitbit)
Nilsson - "Without You" (Heinz)
Seal - "Kiss From A Rose" (Super Bowl Babies)
Drake - "Hotline Bling" (T-Mobile)

Lots of classic rock here, including two from Queen, which were both pretty funny. (Although I'm not sure why you need a sound system in your pickup truck bed. Playing songs for sheep seems to be the only use for that).

There was also this Pepsi commercial featuring songs from The Contours and Madonna:

Seems Pepsi has forgotten what Madonna put them through in 1989. That's when they signed her to a $5 million endorsement deal and made "Like A Prayer" an instant hit by launching it in this commercial:

The next day, Madonna did this:

They dropped her, but she kept the $5 million. Wonder how much they paid her for the Super Bowl spot?

I think the Skittles commercial with Steven Tyler was my favorite overall, at least out of the ones featuring a song.

Bowie's "Starman" has become very popular as the years have passed. It wasn't heard anywhere when it first came out on the Ziggy Stardust album. Now it's in Super Bowl commercials.
