the first few bars of the song "We've Been Had" were used in a car commercial not too long ago, maybe a year or so? I dont remember the name of the car, but the tag line was "welcome to childhood" and featured the song. susanbamboozlin 03:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I've read that it was featured in a commercial for the Saturn ION, I've just added it to the article, Brendanfox 23:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC).

thank you! that commercial is what got me into the walkmen and they have become one of my favorite bands. susanbamboozlin 02:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
