Top 10 2008 Olympics Commercial Songs
Since the advent of the DVR, sports are about the only thing I watch live on TV. So the Olympic Games have reintroduced me to the TV commercial, something I've managed to avoid outside of college football season and the occasional Braves game. And the quality of music has been a pleasant surprise (even a crappy beer like Bud Light—or Bud Light Lime—has the sense to use Santogold). Here are the best songs in commercials running during the Olympic Games:
10. Target - Enur featuring Natasja - "Calabria"
Sadly, Jamaican singer Natasja was killed in a car accident last year, but her vocals are the perfect overlay on Danish electronic duo Enur's music.
9. Hilton - Brett Dennen - "Blessed"
8. Chevy Malibu hybrid - Sea Wolf - "You're a Wolf"
7. Nike - The Killers - "All These Things That I've Done"
6. Audi - AZukx - "Templeboy"
5. Lipstick Jungle - Janelle Monae - "Sincerely Jane"
4. VW - Jeremy Fisher - "The Scar That Never Heals"
3. AT&T - The Decemberists - "The Crane Wife 3"
2. GM - Brandi Carlile - "The Story"
1. Marvin Gaye - Star Spangled Banner - Nike
