In 2002, General Motors paid the group between $70,000 and $100,000 for the right to use the song in a television commercial for the Pontiac Vibe. Chumbawamba, despite having turned down some previous song-rights offers, accepted the payment from GM, and then donated the money to two consumer advocacy groups which dedicated the money to launching anti-GM information campaigns.
