The Super Bowl Commercials Have Already Started. Let’s Look at the Music-Related Ones.

It used to be you actually had to watch the Super Bowl to see the big-budget TV commercials. Now many of the spots are released online well in advance. For example, here are 50 babies plus Seal singing one of the greatest love songs of all time as a tribute to the Big Game.

Now here’s Jeff Goldblum singing the theme from The Jeffersons.

Drake does this one for T-Mobile

This one combines Gilbert O’Sullivan’s weeper “Can’t Live” and weiner dogs.
