Don’t know how successful this might be as a topic, but I’ll start with:

Levi’s brought us ‘Spaceman’ by Babylon Zoo and something by ‘Flat Eric’ too and it seemed at the time that was a great way to launch or re-launch a single.

No mention of suicide - you must be mishearing things!

This one may only work for Americans of my generation. But it was brilliant.

(Pizza Rolls, Larks Cigarette, and the Lone Ranger all used the William Tell Overture.)

Martin Grech “open heart zoo” Lexus ad from 2002. I suspect people buying his lp had an unexpected surprise!

It’s Human League, not Suicide. Maybe I’m missing something.

Any opportunity to post this:

The instrumental intro was/is used as background on some ad or other.

I thought it being a post in a thread about using music in adverts it was obvious…but hey ho…
