Here's a couple of ill-judged classics. VOlkswagen trying to flog cars with Psychic TV's "Roman P", about Roman Polanski (are you really, really free?)
Actually, I can't find the original Dulux advert now, but this used to have The Misfits' "Last Caress". I remember thinking it was in bad taste when I first saw it after an episode of Broadchurch:

In Norway, the horrible overuse by Meny and their take on Depeche Mode's classic early 80s hit, I Just Can't Get Enough, have seen it gone through so many different (and through often very long and boring commercial videos, where some last for almost 2 minutes at a time, making it even worse) versions, that I was somewhat surprised, it goes way back, almost 10 years, and still, every now and then a new boring version without any emotion or feel to it, comes up. Thankfully the remote control and mute function most of the time, spare me for the torture. Yes, Meny, we can get enough of your "fantastic" commercials, and no, I have not gotten enough (yet, I hope) of the original song by Depeche Mode.
Then, there are a few of those overplayed radio hits, that somehow is getting used very successfully, every now and then, to help create a perfect mood/atmosphere to the video/commercial, and where some last for 1 or 2 minutes, but where I never is tempted to mute it down, or switch channel. One of the best or most enjoyable examples of those, came through Chris Rea and his Christmas themed hit, Driving Home For Christmas, and the commercial for Nidar back in fall 2001.
That video just makes me feel very nostalgic, in a sweet and happy way, not annoying. Sadly, they rarely show it any more, instead the song by Rea is still being used, but in terrible new and updated commercials, that have aboslute no christmas feel to it, just everything I dislike about that time of year.
