Garage/psych in "mainstream" media

[HarvestmanMan]

The Sonics' "Have Love, Will Travel" showed up again in a trailer for the movie John Wick...

(hope this is the right trailer!)

Tonight's episode of Bates Motel featured the Rumors' 'Hold Me Now' being played in the background of a bar scene.

The Creation's "Making Time" has also been used at hockey games.

Have heard the Easybeats' "Sorry" and The Marmalade's "I See The Rain" in commercials.

I just heard Making Time in a DEPEND commercial

The low budget horror film parody Chillerama uses the Brymers Sacrifice.

Thanks! I couldn't place the song when I heard it last night.

What Version of The Creation is this? Eddie Phillips ain't scraping the bow for the lead break that fuzz guitar is wrong???

I'm confused.

 

[HarvestmanMan]

Goes right along with the age range of many garage collectors. Job well done.

Gav, there are two versions the UK and US... it'll probably be the US version, which I personally prefer... its more rockier.

Apparently Johnny Thunder's "I'm Alive" has shown up in a Samsung commercial recently - if anyone finds which one it is, post it here...

Don't know about a Samsung commercial, but remember it being used in this Toyota commercial:

 

[HarvestmanMan]

Here's the Samsung spot.

Love the Johnny Thunder! I never knew it til now, and interestingly discovered that the fuzzy backing track is used for (co-writer) Tommy James' version, though Thunder's amazing vocal makes his (wonder which was cut first?) the clear winner.

Here is Tommy James' recording for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjPtTCJz5z8

According to the Billboard charts it is Johnny Thunder April '69 and T. James June '69.

For the umpteenth time Have Love Will Travel by the Sonics (but I love to listen to this anyway!)

 

[HarvestmanMan]

Not quite garage, but close enough.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Straight rock n roll to my ears!

 

[Spirit of '66]

Here's the whole song by Pretty Boy, a.k.a. Don Covay. To my ears, it has a proto-Sonics sort of vibe.
