Re-Emergence of Suckitude

Another commercial use of a New Wave song during an advertisement on the Patriots-Chargers game recently occurred, with a female singer (Nouvelle Vague, apparently) warbling a crappy, acoustic version of Modern English's "I Melt With You" for the GMC Acadia sports utility vehicle.
I know this commercial is not new, and has been broadcast at least since last year's Super Bowl, but this version of the song is still awful and pretentious and the ad is otherwise forgettable.

OK, I know you wrote this one a while ago and may not re-read it, but.... Under the category of ruining old songs for commercials.....Viva VIAGRA for Viva Las Vegas?!?!?! The scary thing is, I could see Elvis using it.
