Anyone know who does the instrumental guitar piece in the kingsford charcoal commercial. It’s the one where everone stuck in traffic decides to grill on the highway. Absurd commercial, cool tune.

Worries Lyrics
If you got worries, then you’re like me.
Don’t worry now, I won’t hurt you.
And, if you got worries, then you’re like me.
Don’t worry now, I won’t desert you.

If you get a chance, you put your dancing shoes on.
The country’s calling, and thats where I’m going.
Don’t know if you’re in my way, but, I’ll take you along.
I’ll take you along.

Maybe Blue eyes are more of my style, I don’t know.
But, I’m willing to try.
And, maybe I’m dumb for making you smile, I don’t know.
But, I will in a while.
We passed a gave yard and held our breath,
We better kiss if we’re getting closer to death.

I don’t wanna miss ya, I know it’s all in our heads,
She says “It’s all in our heads.”

If you got worries, then you’re like me.
Don’t worry now, I won’t hurt you.
And,if you got worries, then you’re like me.
Don’t worry now, I won’t desert you.

And, If you get a chance, you put your dancing shoes on.
The country’s calling, and thats where I’m going.
Don’t know if you’re in my way, but, I’ll take you along.
I’ll take you along.

Great episode tonight. Took me about hour and a half to realize the episode would be 2 hours long – and I wasn’t drinking!

Anyway, this episode started off with a bang from my favorite band Radiohead and finished with another fine band the frames. And the episode was quite excellent. Interesting how good it was without any of the other cast. Hopefully the producers take note.

The current Cadillac commercial for the new 2010 Cadillac SRX is using Phoenix’s 1901 in the commercial. Might be tough to figure out because there are few lyrics heard. One of my favorite albums of the year.

Song: 1901 (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Album: Wolfgang Amadeus Motzart (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: Phoenix

1901 Lyrics
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present — they don’t matter.
Now the future’s sorted out
Watch, you’re moving in elliptical pattern
Think it’s not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out.

It’s 20 seconds ’til the last call, going “hey hey hey hey hey hey”
Lie down, you know it’s easy like we did it all summer long
And I’ll be anything you ask and more, going “hey hey hey hey hey hey”
It’s not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn’t let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling

Girlfriend, know your girlfriend’s drifting away
Past and present, 1855-1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it’s not gonna stay anyway
Think it’s overrated
For a minute, thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out

It’s 20 seconds to the last call, going “hey hey hey hey hey”
Lie down, you know it’s easy, like we did it all summer long
And I’ll be anything you ask and more, going “hey hey hey hey hey”
It’s not a miracle we needed, and no, I wouldn’t let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling

She’s Got Me Dancing Lyrics
Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…
In this cold…
World so cold?.
Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…?

(Chorus. x2)
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin… and she’s always one step behind.

Hey! You! I moved to the side.
Just-a live a little least of your life.
That ex got a bullet aside and she likes what you did before.
You see me dancin’ but i never ever like to talk.
Hey! what do we know i think weve done it to ourselves again.

Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…

Felt so lonely…?

She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin… and she’s always one step behind.

The new T-Mobile Mytouch Google phone commercial featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Phil Jackson, and Jesse James is pretty cool. Features a Cat Stevens song in it, If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out.

Song: If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out – (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)

Artist: Cat Stevens

If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out lyrics

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
‘Cause there’s a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
‘Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

Chorus:
You can do what you want
The opportunity’s on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
‘Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
‘Cause there’s a million things to do
You know that there are

Chorus

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
‘Cause there’s a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

Song: Summer’s Gone (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: Aberfeldy

Summer’s Gone lyrics (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
One, two, a 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 anew

And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard when you’re loving 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
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
And I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer gone.

But I won’t give up
And I won’t give in
And I know it’s tough
But I need to 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
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer gone.

I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
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
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
The summer’s gone.

What I got to do
And what I got to see
It was only you
And it was only me

And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard when you’re loving 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
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.

I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.

Ahh, suck a headphone!

We’re going sideways, highways
Riding on an elevator
Cold just like an alligator
Now my baby’s out of data
Fighting and lightning
And tightening above the buckles
Of an atom bomb’s time bomb’s ticking
Tick tick tick

Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum

We pull the plug out and we—

Blackberry and U2 – a combination that screams yesterday. The music being used is:

Song: If I don’t go crazy tonight (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)

Album: No Line on the Horizon (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: U2

If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight lyrics
She’s a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

There’s a part of me in the chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
A change of heart comes slow..

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubting?
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that will listen to your boys and girls
‘Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven’t heard
Is it true the perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow…

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
But we’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Ha, ha, ha

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy, if we don’t go crazy tonight
Oh Oh
Slowly now
Oh Oh
