Catchy tunes on TV

Two of my favorite things came together in beautiful harmony tonight - Gabe Dixon's "All Will Be Well" was featured in the newest episode of Parks & Rec. The combination of music in television shows, movies and commercials has always fascinated me and I often imagine what it'd be like to pick out one perfect song to fit a scene. Imaging rummaging through an endless library of millions and millions of song is both exhilarating and fascinating! In any case, kudos to the Parks & Rec music supervisor since the song was a great fit for the episode.

A few other songs recently featured on TV that I'm loving:

• The Subaru honeymoon commercial and M. Ward's "Here Comes The Sun Again"

• Peter Bjorn and John's "Second Chance" in a Bud Light lime commercial earlier this year.
• The season 8 premiere commercial for HBO's Entourage this summer featured "High for This" by The Weeknd.
• Chevy's new commercial debuted during the World Series with Ray Charles' version of "America the Beautiful." 
• Last but not least, my all-time favorite commercial/music pairing - Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" for the iPod.
