 Animal Collective - Crayola Color Explosion

I'm too lazy to seach for them on youtube but 1990's have had 2 different songs appear in ads for Payless Shoes.

 The Shins "Sleeping Lessons" - also for zune.  interestingly enough, they've also contributed an album cover to an iphone ad.

Can't find the Ratatat or Books hummer ads either.
