The Allman Brothers song Midnight Rider is basically the perfect motorcycle song. It was written by Duane Allman, who was ironically killed in a motorcycle accident. Geico is now using the song in an ad to promote motorcycle insurance. The new ad has the song playing while a man made of money rides a motorcycle around some lovely roads. Buzzfeed has pointed out that Duane Allman and the band's bassist, Berry Oakley, both perished in motorcycle accidents.
