Commercial Use
CocoRosie's music has been used in various perfume advertisements including Kenzo's Amour which used "Good Friday" as well as Escada's Into the Blue which used "Not for Sale" in recent advertisements. Both use aspects of romance and slow speed motion film.
In 2005, Frederic Sanchez used "Brazilian Sun", "Not for Sale" and "Good Friday" as part of the soundtrack he created for Miuccia Prada's spring 2006 show. The piece was called "Coco Rosie Through the Looking Glass". In 2008, music by CocoRosie was used in a Swedish rendition of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten), with Jonas Malmsjö playing Prince Hamlet. The song "Werewolf" is repeatedly sung by Ophelia and Hamlet throughout the play.
CocoRosie has composed two film scores, in 2005 for the French movie, Frankie and, in 2007, for the German movie, Haus der Wünsche (international: Paperbird). In 2007, their song "Candyland" was used in the film, Anna M., by Michel Spinosa. The songs "Bear Hides and Buffalo" and "Bloody Twins" are featured in the gay zombie film, Otto; or Up with Dead People (2008), by Bruce LaBruce.

Famous quotes containing the word commercial:
“There is every reason to rejoice with those self-styled prophets of commercial disaster, those harbingers of gloom,
Over the imminent lateness of the denouement that, advancing slowly, never arrives,
At the same time keeping the door open to a tongue-in-cheek attitude on the part of the perpetrators....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
