Kept seeing that Volkswagen advert with the montage of the dad and his little girl and the song sounded exactly like a Beach House track. I couldn't place it, but I'd have put money on it being one of theirs. Beach House had just released a new album but it definitely didn't sound like anything on that - then I remembered and felt daft:

The cheeky bastards at the advertising agency have lifted the melody and changed three words of the chorus! Got to be some legal issues there...

 

Any more (in)famous or favourite examples of light-fingered musicianship?

The holiday advert with the Pixie's 'Where is my mind' playing makes me think they are epic mongs. I'm not sure if they 'stole' the chords for it or what but fucking hell.

RSPCC ad with Aphex Twin's 'Come to Daddy' etc
