Was thinking about this and came up with a few more for me.
A few years ago there was some a series of Heineken adds where it just showed a green bottle in the middle of your screen with neon lights flashing all around it.
- One of them introduced me to the
Pussycat Dolls with a remix of Dontcha. I'm not a big fan of theirs now or anything, but the remix on that ad was incredible...so upbeat, and like a zillion times better than the album version. I've looked for it everywhere and never been able to find it. D:
- A second ad in that Heineken series introduced me to Galvanize by the
Chemical Brothers:
I'd heard of them before of course, but somehow had missed this song until I looked up this ad. Legendary tune. (I'd never seen the video for this till just now either..I kinda like it
Finally...7 or 8 years ago I remember there was a Coca-Cola ad with a rave going on in some forest. Lots of weird **** going on and red lights flashing everywhere. This ad had a very upbeat, techno sounding song that I kinda liked, so I mentioned it to a friend who was into that kinda music the next day and he told me who they were. This was my introduction to
Basement Jaxx.
PS: I like that
Matt and Kim song alot
