The song was used throughout ads for the premiere of Australian reality show The Shire. The song was also used in commercials for the 84th Academy Awards on ABC, and was the theme song for WWE's Raw 1000 on July 23, 2012. Honda uses this song in TV advertisements for their Summer Clearance Event. It is also featured in Pizza Hut commercials.
The track is also being featured in Pepsi's "Who's Next" campaign.[1] The ad shows an anonymous young artist sipping from a Pepsi can while he is getting prepared for his show. While "Tonight Is the Night" is being played, renowned "icon" artists appear, namely (in order of appearance) Michael Jackson, Alfonso Ribeiro, Ray Charles, Britney Spears, Kanye West, and Mariah Carey. The final shot goes back to the new aspiring artist while "who's next?" slogan is splashed on the screen. The ad ends with the catch phrase: "Where there's Pepsi, there's music".
