Unlikely Bands who did commercials

[Nefertiti2]

The Rolling Stones- Rice Krispies

[Jah Womble]

Darts were first seen on TV in 1976 advertising Carling Black Label.

Not sure how ‘unlikely’ that was, however.

[3 Colours Red]

Gil Scott Heron did the "you know... when you've been Tango'd" voiceover at the end of the adverts in that campaign.

[Giggler]

Sunkist is the one.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Jefferson Airplane — White Levis

[Amor de Cosmos]

Frank Zappa & Linda Ronstadt — Remington Electric Razors

[Amor de Cosmos]

And the biggest WTF! of all... The Who, for the USAF.

[Greenlander]

While it's not their music, Pete Murphy of Bauhaus just being in the Maxwell tape advert was a surprise.

[Gert from the Well]

One of the most strangest has to be Coil composing music for British TV adverts.

Coil || Music For Commercials ( Unnatural History III ) - YouTube

Some of then sound vaguely familiar but I cannot match them to a particular product. The idea that a band who did the Sewage Workers Birthday Party and the Anal Staircase being involved with selling perfumes and cosmetics is surreal to say the least.

I fully expected that someone would have posted Iggy Pop's car insurance ad before now.

[gjw100]

And John Lydon's butter ad.

[nmrfox]

Nigel Blackwell of HMHB doing voiceover for BP ads.

[Jah Womble]

^Seriously?

I fully expected that someone would have posted Iggy Pop's car insurance ad before now.

I had that lined up before finding the Lou Reed ad.

Meanwhile, Alice Cooper 'elected' to promote an indigestion remedy:

There was also the time when Pete Townshend, a recovering alcoholic, chose Miller Lite as a tour sponsor.

[Satchmo Distel]

Flavor Flav - Miller Lite

Snoop Dogg - Corona

Ice Cube - Coors

Ice-T - Geico

John Legend - Walgreens.

[gavc23]

It would be unkind to say that the advert for Pat’s Chilli Dogs was the highlight of Cinderella’s career, but possibly not untrue either.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Snoop Dogg - Corona

And he does Just Eat over here.

[Jah Womble]

Snoop's pretty cool in those ads.

There was also the time when Pete Townshend, a recovering alcoholic, chose Miller Lite as a tour sponsor.

Given that there's more alcohol in the average glass of water, that was probably an apposite choice.

[ursus arctos]

4.2 ABV

They remove all the flavour, not the alcohol

[Jah Womble]

Maybe that's what fooled Pete Townshend?

I guess he won't get...etc.
