Beer giant Anheuser-Busch has made great use of the "fire-dog" Dalmation that jumps onto the Budweiser (band)wagon in the famous Super Bowl commercial.
Now Miller Lite is walking the dog. In the 2007 TV ad, "Sparky" (or "Spot" or whatever his name is), changes allegiance from Bud to Miller to the tune of the classic blues/rock song, "Unchain My Heart."
"Unchain My Heart" was a Top 10 hit for Ray Charles in 1961. The version used by Miller is Joe Cocker's title cut from his 1987 album of the same name.
"Unchain My Heart" was officially written by Bobby Sharp and Teddy Powell.
"Sharp, a drug addict at the time, sold the song to Teddy Powell for $50. Powell demanded half the songwriting credit. Sharp later successfully fought for the rights to his song." —Wikipedia

Unchain My Heart Lyrics (Words and Music by Bobby Sharp and Teddy Powell)
Unchain my heart baby let me be cause you don't care please set me free
Unchain my heart baby let me go Unchain my heart cause you don't love me no more Every time I call you on the phone some fella tells me your not at home Unchain my heart set me free
Unchain my heart baby let me be Unchain my heart cause you don't care about me You got me sewed up like a pillow case but you let my love go to waist Unchain my heart set me free
I'm under your spell like a man in a trance You know darn well that I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way Unchain my heart you worry me night and day Why lead me through a life of misery and you don't care a bag of beans for me Unchain my heart set me free
solo
I'm under your spell like a man in a trance You know darn well that I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart let me go my way Unchain my heart you worry me night and day Why lead me through a life of misery and you don't care a bag of beans for me Unchain my heart set me free
