Best answer: It's also used in the Sony Bravia ad with the bouncy balls in San Francisco.

You can watch the Sony Bravia ad here.

And a spoof/rip-off by Tango here.

i'd like to add that you should really, really check out the Knife's version, too- very different but just as awesome.

Just did (check out The Knife). I have a sense that I've heard this before - possibly clubbing? Not sure. It's good, but something about the cover by José González completely strikes a cord with me. Hm, the whole Veneer seems excellent.

The Knife's version can be heard at many clubs, as well as tracks their critically acclaimed Silent Shout. There's also a mash-up of the two versions out there.

The original kicks ass, I recomend checking out the video on YouTube too if you are into old school downhill skate boarding.
