As Tull sang, "You're never too old to rock and roll while you're too young to die!"

I'm surprised Ford got away with that one - the Stones sued McDonnell Douglas over using "get off of my cloud" in an "F/A-18: Rockin' and Rollin'" poster series some years ago. The particular poster was a picture of an F/A-18 shadowing an Su-22 as I recall. The company had to pull it and it's now very rare and much prized by us industry-wonks.

O.K. just saw the commercial on the A&E network. It's for Mitsubeshe, or how ever it's spelled, and shows a long line of men in orange jumpsuits lining a bridge while a car drives by.

I also picked up on some more of the song, "I feel fine, I'm" then a part I cannot understand follow by "Getting around"

Ring any bells?

No Thanks

Just the Title and/or Artist

Maybe they're saying "dragging the line" or the Mitsubishi cover changes the lyrics a little, cause it sounds like the setup for "Draggin the Line" by Tommy James and the Shondells. I haven't seen the commercial yet.

They say anything like this?:

I feel fine I'm talking bout peace of mind. I'm getting to good times Draggin the line Draggin the line

To reply, get the HECK out of there snipped-for-privacy@earthlink.net

ok, got the eyes out.

there is a commercial that uses that song. i believe tj&s covered it.

your fave site agrees with you, bill.

Just James himself, IIRC. The Shondells were pretty much gone by then. AFAIK, it was originally his song.

I think it's Sixpence None The Richer, but am not sure. It's a cover of a song by the Las IIRC.

Spike Jones, of course! "Dinner Music for People Who Aren't Very Hungry" is a classic!

We are talking about two different commercials if you remember. One was a "pill" commercial and the other was the Mitsubishi commercial. hth

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

Not 'a pill', The Pill. Which reminds me of a bumper sticker running around in the mid-'60s. You'd have to know about a deodorant commercila current then to get the full effect.

Yup, I understood it was The Pill, just didn't know the brand. Haven't seen it yet; what network?

Saw most of the Mitsubishi commercial. Why are they spraying the guys in the orange jumpsuits? What's a Shondell? 8^)

"being close." That was Ban wasn't it? Cheers,
