Just an FYI, to pay someone to write and record a jingle or track for a commercial is about $20,000. To buy a piece of music starts at 50,000 and can go upwards to several million. So theres no money saved there!

I work in the business. I buy music to put on my commercials. I'm not out to ruin your memories, taint your teenage heroes, or brainwash you. I'm just trying to make a cool ad that will resonate with the people who are the target audience for that product. People seem to think there's all sorts of conspiracies afoot within the ad industry - we're out to subliminally make you 'obey' and we spend our days airbrushing the word 'sex' into the ice cubes of the product shot. Sadly, it's not half that exciting!
