Adverts - you know, those things that last five minutes between telly programmes while you go and make your brew. There are plenty of annoying adverts out there, but there are also plenty of funny, charming and plain weird ads out there too.

Many of these good adverts also feature good music, and this is the place to find that music. We regularly update this page with music from some of the newest ads, as well as a section about recent favourites.

If this advert is to be believed someone’s nan is frantically roaming the country with tabard and tea urn delivering free cuppas in the rain. The tea will surely go cold but who would have the heart -or guts - to complain when she’s having so much fun on her Whitesnake fuelled mission.

When throwing a TV out of a hotel window one must remember a few simple rules: never go on tour without a screwdriver set (for when the TV is bolted down); don’t do it if you’re on the ground floor – not cool; unplug it so it doesn’t just dangle - everyone below will see you’ve failed Rock n’ Roll; and, above all, check the TV guide to make sure there are no cartoons you want to see in the morning. Alice Cooper dropped a few TVs in his time. Now he just drops golf handicaps.

The voice of the Box Tops and, later, the highly influential Big Star Alex Chilton, has probably never been as widely heard as it has by being stapled between ad breaks on X Factor: a show in which Simon Cowell and team decide which member of the British public deserves a career in the music industry. With Robson & Jerome, The Cheeky Girls, Steve Brookstein, 5ive and The Teletubbies all part of his musical CV, who are we to doubt his contribution to music?
