Original Songs/Music Used in Commercials

Does anyone know of a blog or site or wiki that is keeping track of all the songs used in commercials? I've looked around, but haven't found anything too comprehensive and/or independent.

i probably do this the hard way, but....

i pay attention to the lyrics of the song in the commercial.... then google them....

adtunes has a pretty knowledgeable messageboard. i've only ever seen a couple songs go unidentified there.

Yeah I've looked at those already and they're kinda underwhelming. How's that for being snotty?

Again, implied as it may be, I'm not actually looking to search for songs. I can make do on my own most of the time when searching for something (except, uhh, about this nebulous topic), but I haven't seen anything that provides much consistent commentary the way a good blog (I'm thinking MarathonPacks quality here) or wiki entry can - adtunes is on the right track, but seems infrequently updated. Know what I'm sayin?

What about The Pogues in a Cadillac commercial?? I'm wondering who connected THOSE dots.
