Yeah, we discussed that in one of my music courses. We also thought it was odd that some pretty obscure songs that you wouldn't think would be used to sell products, were.

Some instances I can think of:
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train - some SUV
The Who - Teenage Wasteland - Nissan Pathfinder
Stone Temple Pilots - Wicked Garden - some SUV
Elastica - Connection - some compact car

and dozens of others.
