The Persuaders (1:06)

In the Frontline documentary "The Persuaders," directors Barak Goodman and Rachel Dretzin filmed an advertising team presenting a demo of a commercial featuring the tune “Downtown,” by Petula Clark.

They invoked fair use for the song because they had not chosen it as a soundtrack element; rather the song was integral to the scene that they were capturing for other purposes.
