Title says it all though the point is that even though the music may be something you'd normally abhore, you still enjoy the ad because of the images mixed with it.

I've done this in 5 mins and obviously forgotten tons of classics but, hey,that's your job... I don't do prep.

I await the day Carmina Burana pops up on University Challenge so I can wow myself with my musical knowledge while ignoring the origins of this knowledge - an Old Spice advert.

I do like the Vision Express advert using Roberta Flack's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
