23. "It's Your Thing" by The Isley Brothers.

This song was covered by an unknown person / group in Heineken's "Now You Can" advertisement campaign which aired around 2018.

The campaign featured a series of silent advertisements where the consumer of the said beer tapped on the "0% alcohol content" label of the bottle, only to be later pointed at a mistake they had made without knowing it as a twist.

The advertisements had presented the following skits: "Parking", "Backstage", "Presentation", "Locker Room", "Photobomb" and "Gas Station". (The official Heineken YouTube channel has age-restricted the videos for some reason.)

24. "Diamonds and Guns" by Transplants.

Heard in the Garnier Fructis commercials in the 2000s. The original commercials aired in the early 2000s while the Indian commercials aired in the late 2000s. Some of the Indian commercials starred Diva Dhawan, Diana Penty and Jyothsna (the third name needs to be verified).

The original US commercials: Commercial #1, Commercial #2, Commercial #3

Indian commercials: Diana Penty's commercial, Diva Dhawan's commercial, Jyothsna?, Commercial #4, Commercial #5

26. "The Little Things You Do" (ft. Anushka Manchanda) by Mikey McCleary.

This song was featured in Vodafone's Delights advertisement campaign featuring two school-going girls who are close to each other. The three skits (labelled "Classroom", "Cycle" and "Annual Day") have been color-graded to highlight anything red out of the desaturated world.

27. "Oh I Feel Wonderful" by Mike McCleary.

Heard in another set of advertisements related to Vodafone Delights, this time featuring a young boy interacting with an old man. The link above feature the "Newspaper", "Pen" and "Harmonica" skits. Here are links to more skits: - Carom, Plane

More information related to this set of advertisements are found here. Note - need to research the correct names alloted for the skits.

28. "Welcome Home" by Radical Face.

Heard in Nikon's "I Am" advertisement campaign featuring Robbie Williams that had started as early as 2009 / 2010. The Indian version featuring Mithila Palkar can be found here.

29. "Gangster Of Love" by Johnny "Guitar" Watson.

Heard in the Axe Click advertisement. The original starring Ben Affleck and Scoot McNairy aired in 2009, while the Indian version starring Ranbir Kapoor aired in 2013. The skits in both ads feature the same gist, albiet taking place during slightly different scenarios.

30. "Missione A Bombay" by Nicola Conte.

Heard in another Garnier Fructis advertisement which aired in 2011. The gist of this advertisement might have been inspired by Garnier's "Long and Strong" advertisement which aired in 2006 and it also makes use of Transplants' "Diamonds and Guns" as their background score like most Fructis ads.
