Music For A Found Harmonium is not traditional. It was written only about 20 years ago by Simon Jeffes for the Penguin Café Orchestra and is therefore very much in copyright. I got to hear it used in an ad during the recent Channel 5 series of documentaries about successful singers in order to advertise the junk furniture shop MFI, where it is played by Patrick Street.

As a child (when I used to watch TV, ads and all) I recall the tune of Blaydon Races used for the listings mag The Viewer ( . . . don't be late for Channel 8, be sure and get . . . ) and Cushy Butterfield to sell Newcastle Brown Ale ( . . . it's a fine beer it's a bottled beer . . .).
