Musical Abominations, Auto Department

It may or may not be coincidental that the two most recent annoying uses of music in television commercials are both covers and both in automobile advertisements I've mainly seen on NHL broadcasts.
The first is a Toyota commercial that uses a rocking, revved up version of Salt n Pepa's "Push It." The all-female vocals (and I assume instrumentals) sound a bit like a recording made about 10-15 years ago by a punk/punky band who probably thought this was a decadent/funny idea; it's not. "Push It" was a pretty good song that was done as it deserves to sound in its original form.
But what is worse, and fortunately I haven't heard as often as "Push It," is the Volkswagen commercial that uses a sped up, rawked up version of Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance." Yes, "The Safety Dance." It sounds as awful, inappropriate and out of place as it reads.
