Songs you had heard before, but never knew the artist - General

Sometimes I'll be listening to new music and then I'm like "Oh yeah, I've heard this before somewhere", 'somewhere' usually being ads, trailers, movies or tv shows. But never knew the name before. Honestly I can't think of anything very interesting, but who knows, you guys might jog my memory on stuff I heard somewhere sometime long ago? And I'm sure you've listened to something before and recognised it from something. So here's the thread for it. I think I was clear about it? Okay then. Here are some songs I listened to at some point and thought "I know this from somewhere!" Would be interesting if you could tell us where specifically you heard it first as well. And maybe even when you were first listening to it and you recognised it. [b]Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla[/b] (Planet Earth ads think) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnAwPeqrdAk[/media] [b]Justice - Genesis[/b] (an Assassin's Creed II trailer I think - saw someone had the cross album cover as an avatar so I looked up the album) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThKNt-GY1ww[/media] [b]Daft Punk - Technologic[/b] (probably a car or phone ad or something) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoPplpBPQxQ[/media] [b]Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over[/b] (used in ads for Slumdog Millionaire being shown on Channel 4 - sister had a CD for her radio show [she does like chart stuff so she was playing that song at the time] and she started playing it in the car) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWOyfLBYtuU[/media] And again this thread is for music that you heard on adverts, never thought much of at the time, and then came across at some point later on. Is that clear. I think it's clear. Also if you want go ahead and post bands you found from like tv shows, games, advertisements, movies, or trailers. I'm not going to but like go ahead if you want.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R6S5CJWlco[/media] I heard this song in high school in some soccer video and I never knew who it was until it got played on XM one day.

Pretty much every song ever. Just a little bit ago I decided to try some daft punk, I realize I have heard most of their songs already just didn't realize it was them. [editline]12th June 2011[/editline] That happens to me a lot.

A Cracked article eventually told me :v:
