Totally agree w/you...I caught hell for saying the same thing. I wasn't impressed w/the cover that band did. Infact, I thought it was shit.

Seriously....Nowadays I can't even listen to "I Melt With You" without getting this craving for a Hershey's Bar, or cruising down to Taco Bell.

Ikea here in Australia use "Kitchen At Parties" by Jona Lewie. Don't know if this ad is multinational, or if it's been mentioned in this thread already [;)]

<br>Can't find the clip but Elastica's Connection is being used in a new Citibank commercial. Weird.

As I recall it was used in a frickin' Budweiser commercial back in the day too.
