It does. Back in the '80's, Chrysler offered Bruce Springsteen several million dollars (I don't know the exact figure) to use Born in the USA in a commercial. He turned it down. Last year, after he took a bunch of flack from fans when he agreed to sell a Greatest Hits CD as a Wal-Mart exclusive, he acknowledged that it was a mistake.

I was kind of disappointed to hear Anything for Love used in that steak sauce commercial.
