Popular music in commercials (soundtrack, dance, album, tune, track)

Does it bug you to hear a song you grew up loving and identifying to being used to sell a car, a fast food chain, or anything for that matter?

I will admit it does bug me on a "that was my song, how dare they use it to sell soap" level. On another level I feel it is kind of fitting because the song itself was originally created to promote that artist/band as well as their album and now it almost kills two birds with one stone promoting another product as well as introducing that song to a new generation.

Anyway, what do you think?
