That’s a big pet peeve of mine . How hard is it to just include that info in the vid description? ALWAYS give credit where it’s due.
As for the Audi video - check out the vid’s comments. There’s only a handful of them to sort through. The other videos might also have the answer in their r espective comment sections, but there’s way too many comments to sort through and no way to load all comments at once in order t o C TRL+F for “song” “music” or “artist”.

The first one is a cover of Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkel? Likely a cover from Glee.
The Semi-Finals video lists the song in the des
cription:
“I Am An Army” by Ruelle?

No, not credit—most videos have that these days. Those three have them already listed (the Audi when it was originally uploaded). I can’t find the actual tracks, though. The cover used on the Audi ad was released on SoundCloud but is now nigh-impossible to find , the LoL one is nowhere to be found outside Apple Music, and the Google one probably exists but can’t be found so far. Same with the one used in the trailer for Netflix’s ICARUS (the Russian doping documentary) and a whole bunch of others I wish I saved because that’s probably the only place I can find them at this point.

Oh I thought you were referring to song identification, hence the post title. I only checked the Audi description at first, and didn’t see a credit there, so I assumed that the other vids lacked credit too, inspiring your frustration. I see now that the LoL and Google vids do indeed include proper credit, but I still can’t find it on the Audi vid (you say it was there when first uploaded? Why would they remove it?) , only in its comments.

The story here to me is that commercial music has overwhelmingly begun moving towards licensing platforms like MusicBed (great people, by the way) where artists are increasingly either being commissioned for one-off “scores” or they’re licensing tracks which they’ve written specifically for commercial use.
The days of licensing what I’ll call “album music” from the already published catalogs of artists quickly drawing to a close. Cheaper to license commissioned commercial tracks, advertisers get exactly what they want instead of something “close”, and artists don’t have to risk going through what Of Montreal did in the early 2000s of getting vilified for licensing music with artistic intent
