I don't think I caught that particular ad, but I've seen/heard plenty of
similarities between car ads and popular songs. The one that sticks out in
my mind the most is a Toyota ad I saw a year or two ago that ripped the
melody from Go West, almost note for note, with some _very_ minor alterations.
I've also noticed that the drum-n-bass staple breaks seem to be creeping
their way into more and more ads, segues between shows, and other short
clips on TV. There's even a local radio ad that just blatantly samples the
first 30 seconds or so of a track off Logical Progression. (It's one of
the bell-laden, whispy intros... oh, they're all like that... oh well. :)
