and am sure 'Where Eagles Dare' by the Misfits (minus the chorus) cropped up in something else.

I forgot about the Fall car advert! Remember seeing it and thinking "Sounds like a Fall rip-off" , though I'd already drifted away from them after 'Levitate' and the big split after the NYC gig punch-up...rollins can be insufferable but hits the nail on the head here.
Oh yeah, they blew up at the time. Think Flat Eric made some TV appearances as well. Babylon Zoo even got into Melody Maker.the thing about Flat Beat and Spaceman that fascinates me is that even with their "novelty" elements they weren't just flash-in-the-pan successes: Flat Beat was one of the ten biggest selling songs of 1999, and Spaceman did four weeks at the top of the charts. The songs were picked to be head-turning moments of advertising, but if that's all that drew people to them then they would never have had the comparative longevity and impact.
Yep, them's the twats. Just YT'd it...even worse than I rememberStiltskin, who if I remember correctly were formed for the purpose of making the advert and the fake-grunge song Inside that was used in it. The frontman ended up in Genesis.
