A while back I was trying to find the name of one of the songs used in a Mitsubishi commercial. (It was Start the Commotion (video) by The Wiseguys.) Lots of fun sites were discovered:

AdTunes has a lot of good links to commercial advertising sites. Three of the better ones listing popular songs used in commercials are related: Inthe70s Music, InThe80s Music and Inthe90s Music. The site also has other trivia for each decade.

About.com 80s Music details 1980s era music used in television commercials, but it’s links to other music trivia is what really eats up the time. Songtitle.info features a list of music used North American TV commercials from 1996 and keeps adding to keep it current.
