Songs from the Eighties That Have Been In Commercials, Products Beginning with J
Well, it was bound to happen, and it has been happening now for a while,
Commercials bleeding the memory of the eighties, for music. The first one I
remember is "Like A Rock" and then "Born in the USA." Now it's food items.
What's next? I'd love to hear your recomendations. Please limit it to
TELEVISION Commercials though. Radio stations usually mix in background
music with spoken ads by the DJ's and the music tends to be used in both
radio and television versions of most Commercials eventually.

Three Dog Night's,
"Joy To The World"

J.C. Penny, using Electric Light Orchestra's, "Livin' Thing"
JC Penney, using

JC Penney, using
Pete Townshend's,
"Let My Love Open The Door"

Jack's Pizza, using
Ray Parker, Jr.'s,
"Ghostbusters"
A very bad, off-key version sung by a white studio band, replacing the original lyrics with "Who are you gonna call? Jack's Pizza!"
Jaguar X-Type, using
Chris Isaak's,
"Wicked Game"
Used in the ad campaign to introduce and promote the new Jag X-Type.
Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, using
Bow Wow Wow's,
"I Want Candy"
Two ads I've seen: one with a man sucking a watermelon-flavored Jolly Rancher in his mouth, the bus with a slice of watermelon leaves, the other with a person wearing a red wig (which matches the color of a cherry) and sucks on a cherry-flavored Jolly Rancher while the person was walking the dog on the sidewalk. I thought they were so cool, loved the song. Are U kidding me with those ads? As a matter of fact, those ads, the people, the things, all the things look funny to me. Whatever that is, looks funny. Trust me. Funny as it gets to commercials.
