Couldn’t find this in a dope search. There is a new Mitsubishi car commercial with a gal dancing in the passenger seat (while seated). Can anyone ID the song/artist? Thanks! I really like the tune.

Pretty sure the song is “Days Go By” by Dirty Vegas, a band out of the U.K.

Peace.

_Start the Commotion_ by **The Wiseguys** from the CD _The Antidote._ And just for the record the CD sucks aside from that song.

This thread languishes for twelve hours and gets two responses in a minute’s time? Odd.

[sub]and if the song lyrics go “get up and start the commotion” than I nailed what you’re looking for (have the CD and pulled it out to check the details) if not than Goofy’s probably got it).[/sub]

Actually, if its the commercial I think it is, it’s NOT the Wiseguys one. That one came out many moons ago and was for the 2002 Eclipse. This one has some girl pop-locking in the passenger seat to the tune of another semi-catchy song. Its possible that its this song I once heard by BT and some other dude. I’ve only heard that song a few times before, though, so I could be off.

The lurker, goofyfish, is correct! Seems to be a lot of interest:

Death In Vegas also did the music for the Levi’s advert a year or so ago with the two inflatable dolls dying on the barbed wire fence.

song for the commercial mistubishi: eclipe. “body in motion” something to  
that effect, does anyone know?”
