KL, the "thank you" one is pretty bizarre, isn't it?

Is anyone else loving the new Priceline spots with Leonard Nimoy as much as I am? The latest one with the "logical" line had me roaring.

You see the Allstate commercials where they show a US Olympians at a weightlifting event, and the announcer salutes them....then the weightlifter drops the weight, it goes thru the floor, and destroys a guy's car......thus he needs insurance.

The new Toyota ad that parodies Pimp my Ride is ingenious! "We're gonna fix your bucket!"

I need help. I want to find out who sings the song for a VW commercial for the Touareg. I saw it during the Olympics tonight on NBC.

Basically, there was a couple driving in the Touareg (a kind of SUV vehicle) through a park of some sort (a big park). They're taking pics with this digital camera. (It makes you think it's a digital camera commercial fist.) They stop in the park and an older lady comes up and takes the digital cam from them. It's like the couple in the SUV know her. They're fine with it.

Anyway, I would love to find out who's singing that song. I loved what I heard of it. It sounded familiar like it may have been a remake of an older song if that helps any. :-)

I think I found it. The song is Ariel Ramirez, sung by Richard Buckner. If this is it, you can buy the cd on Amazon.com. You can listen to a sample of it at this link:

*Amazon*

Here is where I read about it:
*Adtunes.com*

You're welcome, Hamsterlady!! I like to test my Googling skills now and then. This was a tough one, but I loved finding the adtunes site. I haven't noticed the commercial yet, but will recognize it when I hear it now!

Paperback Writer... PAPERBACK WRITER! Buick/The B-52's. I don't get it. It has been shown about 20 times in the first two hours of the Emmys.

THIS commercial with a pack of wolves being depicted as "those who are waiting to do America harm" has me so ticked off I'm ready to vote for the opponent on this commercial alone.

I thought the archaic histrionics depicting wolves as evil went away with people becoming more educated. It makes those who produced (and approved) "this message" like complete fools.

IMHO of course.

I love the new Staples ad at the moment, a grandmother wants to take a photo of her family by the tree, she presses down on the "camera", it goes click, and then you realise it's a stapler she's using, not a camera! (Not very well described, but it's funny when you see it!)

Some of the CNN ones about themselves are good too, featuring their various hosts. One has Christiane Amanpour explaining how to probounce I-ran and I-raq. Very amusing.

I am so sick of two commercials. They air on just about every darn cable channel there is, for shows on TBS.

One is the Friends/Seinfield commercial for weekdays on TBS. The other is the one for romantic comedies, also on TBS.

They play those darn commercials so many times, I can almost recite them word for word. And we barely watch TBS as it is, but the darn commercials are on every channel! Argh!
