I was actually introduced to The Magnetic Fields through 2 Southern Comfort commercials. "Desert Island" and "Strange Powers" were the songs featured in the ads.

I remember a ketchup commercial featuring Jon Astley's Jane's getting serious. Also wasn't Geggy Tah's whoever you are used in a car commercial once?

I really liked the Biff Naked song "I Love Myself Today" that was used in an older commercial. I went crazy looking for it - thinking it was Joan Jett.
