This week, I’m spinning songs that do a little product placement of their own—tunes that name-drop everything from cars to Coca-Cola.

And between the music, we’ll turn back the clock with some classic radio commercials from days gone by.

Great songs, vintage ads, and a few surprising facts along the way. It’s music, memories, and marketing—all rolled into one hour on Listening Lyrics.
