If only someone could instruct US carmakers to use such gems for
their commercials. I just can't take the "like a rock!" crap any
more! Over the next few years, I'm gonna be so delighted to see all
those bad ass cheapo commercial jingles disappear, being replaced
by the more cost-effective, less ear-annoying tweaked midi sequences
or licensed electronica tracks. It's happening slowly but surely, I
bet there's already twice more electronica used in commercials than
one year ago. And I'd rather hear even bad electronica than bad
whatever it is they call it now. Another example: Target new
electronica-backed commercial v.s. "I love it, I got it at Ross!".

Here is an idea: Dan Bell's "I'm Loosing Control" for sport utility
vehicles. It would be adequate :P

Question> what's the scratchy track on the Miller commercial with the
dog chasing it's tail? It's simple and minimalistic enough to have
been produced just for this purpose, yet very well made and pretty
catchy. Something Shadow could probably have produced in a half-hour,
yet catchier than any Miller commercial music so far.
