Virgin Digital, the Virgin Music store (US & UK only) came up with some remarkable campaigns. I’ve seen the concept before, in the Stella Artois ‘Guess The Movie’ campaign, only this time it’s not about movies, but about music, song titles and bands. For the animated clip I haven’t found the answers yet. Give it a go in the comments :)
Another static viral is this one, where you’re invited to test your music muscle to name all of the 75 band references illustrated, the comments on Double Viking reveal up to 85 results, while AdRants only mentions 74, so it’s a bit of a blur, yet still very funny to do :

[...] Unlike Virgin Digital’s Viral Music Quiz or Absolut’s 82 Bottles game, this game from M&M’s is a hard nut to crack. “Dark Chocolate” invites you to locate 50 hidden horror movies by following the visual clues. Each movie title is represented by a visual riddle in the painting and you can use your mouse to ‘get around’ within the painting itself. Using the ‘X’ and ‘Z’ key you can zoom in or out on the details (or by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-’). If you think you’re on to something, click the clue and type your answer in the box. If it’s correct, the box will turn green. If it turns red it means you’re way off or that you’ve misspelled the title. Enjoy! [...]

At the end after atomic dog and before we are the champions, I saw a Union Jack on the sleeve of one of the wolf things. Maybe “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon?

That’s very well possible! Thanks for adding it! (even though you just forced me to check out that band because I’ve never heard of it) :)
