It Was A Very Good Year by The Flaming Lips originally by Frank Sinatra
Shore Leave by John Hammond Jr originally by Tom Waits.
Trouble (live from Radio 1) – Ray LaMontagne
In this adorable commercial for insurance from Travelers man’s best friend is fraught with worries over the security of his precious bone! So much so that he even puts it in a safety deposit box at the bank! Accompanying this lovable dog’s quest for security for his most valued possession is Ray LaMontagne’s tenderly woeful vocals singing of worries in the song Trouble. The song is the title track on LaMontagne’s 2004 album, which you can check out at amazon:
Burning For You – Shiny Toy Guns
I learned how to drive in a 1985 white Lincoln town car… let me tell you, I was pretty pimpin’! I believe that car is still in my family. Needless to say, I have a special place in my heart for Lincoln.
The track in this upbeat luxury car is Shiny Toy Guns‘s electro rendition of Blue Oyster Cult‘s Burning For You.

The popular stroller manufacturer Bugaboo released this add to show it’s support for the Global Fund to eliminate AIDS in Africa.
