What's That Song? Super Bowl Edition

In addition to the mind-blowing upset Eli Manning and the New York Giants pulled off last night, 97.5 million viewers were treated to glimpses of celebrity attendees (Gisele Bundchen, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson, to name a few) as well as their yearly dose of those highly anticipated Super Bowl commercials.

For those of you not flipping to Animal Planet's crushingly cute 'Puppy Bowl' during game breaks, there was a diverse offering of advertisements -- some that made us laugh (read: the FedEx pigeon ad) and others that made us want to cry out for mercy (read: those brutal CareerBuilder spots).

Putting the "success" of this year's adverts aside for a moment, we'd like to draw the attention back to the music because ... that is what we do. So relive the magic and feast on our highlight reel of last night's musical moments.
