The Maria Sharapova commercial with "I Feel Pretty," obviously.

And the one from a few years back with Mia Hamm and Michael Jordan, with "Anything You Can Do."

There was a yogurt commercial that played, "I Only Have Eyes For You." I've heard that song in about 2 or 3 commercials.

I loved that Sharipova commercial so much that I taped it! I had all of my friends looking for it. I took the second week of the Open off to watch tennis so I saw it a thousand times!

In the "Hair" vein, wasn't there also a commercial in the past couple of years that used "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)"? I'm sure there was one, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was for...maybe there have been a couple.

There were actually a series of West Side Story related GAP ads.

There was an ad shown during Super Bowl XIX that showed people who were not in the Super Bowl singing (off-key) "Tomorrow." More info about it

Can someone tell me what shows/networks they've seen the Pillsbury commercial? I haven't seen it yet, but I'm a hugh SUPERMAN fan.

"Can someone tell me what shows/networks they've seen the Pillsbury commercial?"

Try watching The View. I saw it once during that show. It usually plays when women are watching.
