NW Songs That Were In Beer Commercials

Does anyone know or remember any that were? I think the Romantics "What I Like About You" was but I'm not sure that really counts as a NW song. But back in the 80's were there any that were?

I would consider it Power Pop which fits into that broad genre we call New Wave.
Can't recall any off the top of my head but "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please" by Splodgenessabounds would have been perfect!

Two songs by Ministry - Everyday is Halloween, and All Day, were used in two separate 30-second ads for Heilmann's Old Style beer back in either '88 or early '89. I saw both commercials on WGN during a Suns-Bulls game.

Yes I forgot. Power-pop definitely does fit the category of new wave and the romantics were considered power-pop. By the way I'm not sure about the rest of the world but "what i like about you" is a staple of big corporate radio out here in Southern CA. I think it has something to do with the song being used in a commercial for Knott's Berry Farm some many years back. What I like about Knott's.

I think it would fair to say that the song has been overplayed and overcommercialized on the right coast too!
