Simply put, I think it’s a Crest commercial running nowadays, showing the toothpaste (pump, I think) against a window, while various landscapes (“From the midwest to Beantown”, or some such phrases are said by the VOX).  
It’s a common enough Funk song playing in the background, but alas my synapses containing it’s name are not responding.  
And, couldn’t find it on this good site: [Music from TV Commercials](http://www.songtitle.info/)
