Brendan Benson’s song “What I’m Looking For” is being used in the current iPod Touch commercial (the one with the iPods on a wooden table). Some of you might know Benson from the Raconteurs – he had two great albums before that. Check them out.

“What I’m Looking For” Lyrics – iTunes
Well I don’t know what I’m looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more
And I won’t be satisfied
‘Till there’s nothing left that I haven’t tried
For some people it’s an easy choice
But for me there’s a devil and an angel’s voice
Well I don’t know what I am looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more

Well I don’t know what I’m living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more
And you hear it from strangers
And you hear it from friends
That love never dies, love never ends
Now I don’t wanna argue, no I don’t wanna fight
‘Cause you’re always wrong and I’m always right
Well I don’t know what I am living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more

I used to be involved, and I felt like a king
Now I’ve lost it all and I don’t feel a thing
I may never grow old, I may never give in
And I’ll blame this world that I live in
I visit hell on a daily basis
I see the sadness in all your faces
I’ve got friends who have married
And their lives seem complete
Here I am still stumbling down a darkened street

And I act like a child and I’m insecure
And I’m filled with doubt and I’m immature
Sometimes it creeps up on me and before I know it
I’m lost at sea
But no matter how far I row
I always find my way back home
But I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for
But I know that I don’t wanna wait anymore

Looking for…
What I’m looking for…
Looking for…
What I’m looking for…
Looking for…
What I’m looking for…
Looking for…
What I’m looking for…
Looking for…
What I’m looking for.

Love this song. Played tonight on the Oscar’s telecast. (Lots of commercial music tonight). The version is by Chris Montez – Let’s Dance (iTunes)

Let’s Dance Lyrics (iTunes)
(One, two)
(One, two, three, four)

Hey baby won’t you take a chance?
Say that you’ll let me have this dance

Well let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance

Hey baby, yeah, you thrill me so
Hold me tight, don’t you let me go

But let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance

SPOKEN: OK, wail now.

Oh, yeah

Hey, baby, if you’re all alone
Maybe you’ll let me walk you home

But let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance

Hey, baby, things are swingin’ right
Yes, I know that this is the night

Well let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance

FADE
But let’s dance
But let’s dance
But let’s dance

The GM Arcadia commercial is using a remake of Modern English’s I Melt With You (iTunes). The artist is Nouvelle Vague – I Melt With You (iTunes)

Very cool Diet Coke Commercial using Aberfedly – Summer’s Gone

One two, one two three
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there’s nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer’s gone

What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard
[?]
When the leaves are brown
And they’re falling down
And the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you’ve given me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

But I won’t give up
And I won’t give in
And I know it’s tough
But I ain’t a win
And I couldn’t get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you’ve given me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you’ve given me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

What I’ve got to do
What I’ve got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it’s hard
And the leaves are brown
And they’re falling down
And the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you’ve given me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

And I can’t wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you’ve given me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong, but the summer’s gone

Summer’s Gone Lyrics (iTunes)

The new JC Penney commercial for their American Living line is using the Robert Plant and Allison Krauss version of “Killing the Blues” from their cd Raising Sand.

Killing the Blues Lyrics (iTunes)

Leaves were falling ..Just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes

Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the Blues

I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love

Repeat Chorus:

Repeat Chorus:

Now, you ask me Just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what I’ve already had
