"Fortunate Son"
Actually the "Fortunate Son" ads are for Wrangler. ZTAngel is absolutely correct in saying that it was the wrong song to use to personify an American image. I saw a documentary on the Kent State shootings where this song was part of the soundtrack, and it really hammers home what the song is actually about. The same thing happened when Reagan tried to use "Born in the USA" as a campaign song - it's about disenfranchised Vietnam veterans, not the joys of being American.
Oh and MoxieGrrl, I am glad to hear someone else experienced the Gloria Horn commercial. The first time I saw it I thought either someone had put something "wacky" in my last drink that was just kicking in, or we were going through the Apocalypse.
