Subject: RE: Appropriate folk tunes for TV ads
They do say that fact is stranger than fiction. Did I imagine it or was Woody Guthrie's car song used recently in an Audi advert?

I also saw an advert (was it for a bank or insurance - I'm blowed if I noticed the product!) recently with cod-Dylan guitar strumming and harmonica.

The Wild Rover's also been used on something recently.

As mentioned above, The Galway Girl's been used to advertise a product that's passed off as cider.

I'm sorry to be so vague about which adverts they were: I always seem to switch off from the product that they're advertising!
