Songs Featured In iPod Commercials

Ever see an iPod commercial on TV and ask yourself "what's the name of that catchy ass tune?" We've all done it. We have the beat or the chorus stuck in our heads. We mumble the lyrics when nobody is listening, despite not knowing a single word that is actually sung. We rack our brains trying to think of the artist's name, the song title, anything that would help us locate the mp3. You ask your friends. You ask your family. You ask your co-workers. You might even ask a total stranger online or your garbage man what the name of that song is. But still, still you are left clueless. Well guess no more because I've compiled a complete list (or so I hope a complete list) of ALL the iPod commercial songs ever aired. There are 32 tracks in total. So launch iTunes, LimeWire or your favorite P2P client and start downloading.

Nobody will be shocked if my future son/daughter looks like this.

The birth of the iPod occurred in 2001. Today, we are up to the 5th generation video iPod. We also have seen the introduction of the sleek Nano and teeny tiny Shuffle. Over the years there have been countless iPod commercials. So tracking down all the songs was not an easy task. If I am missing a song, please let me know and I'll add it to the list. Digital music at your fingertips - it's a beautiful thing.
