You do realize that this is a commercial. A commercial that is promoting an Apple product. A commercial that is not promoting a song.

You do realize that everything that appears in ANY commercial is carefully chosen. That means every spoken word, every image, and yes, every note and lyric of the background music is chosen for what it says about the product, and how it relates to the attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices of the target audience.

You do realize that any commercial that uses a particular identifiable song DOES promote that song and the group that performs it, whether that is intentional or not.

You do realize that what is said in the header of this article IS NOT IN THE SONG sung in that commercial? The lyrics sung in that commercial were not the song you are referring to but a heavily edited version of that song. . . which left most of that song on the cutting room floor. It does not promote the song. . . they are promoting their PRODUCT.
