Tonight I saw a Luvs diaper commercial paired with The Youngbloods singing "Get Together"

"Come on people - smile on your brother
Everybody get together and love one another right now"

I can't help but thing that the musicians involved are cringing as they cash their checks - assuming they get any royalties anymore. It's a sad thing that Madison Ave gets to do to some good songs. "Anticipation" by Carly Simon is another one that comes to mind. I'm sure there are others. Can y'all come up with some other examples? And shouldn't there be a website devoted to collecting these things?
