Is a current commercial, but can’t for the life of me google or youtube it now that I’m looking for it, nor have I seen it lately to look it up by the make, but I’m pretty sure its Johnny Cash, probably off one of the American albums, but can’t seem to track it down. Anyone know the commercial/song I’m after?

Do you remember any of the lyrics, or at least the gist of what they were saying?

If it’s the Cadillac commercial, it’s by a Swedish group called Teddybears with Iggy Pop singing.

Damned, you are right. I have always loathed IP for various reasons, now have to reevaluate based on that single snatch.

I’ve never seen that particular ad, but I was hoping it was “One Piece At A Time”.

Mostly because if I were an ad exec, I’d definitely, at some point in my career, set a car ad to “OPAAT”…
