Hay gang,

There is a commercial on FX right now that advertises the show “Nip And Tuck”. I am interested in the background music, this same sound track is currently being used in a car commercial, I cant seem to remember the car because I always get into the music, and I don’t need a new car. But I want that song! Problem is, I don’t the name of it or who did it. Does any one out there know what I am talking about? Maybe have the name/band who did the music. I really want to add this to my collection, any hints?

Thanx,

Janx.

I think you’re hearing Goldfrapp’s “Strict Machine”, but I don’t recall it being in a car ad.

Sounds right. I don’t recall it being in a Nip/Tuck ad, so I guess we even out.

Ok… Game over.

Strict Machine it is, I found it. I got it. Very very 80s sound to this music. I can’t wait to hear it while I’m driving around in my car.

Thanks a gang!

Janx.

Reminds me of [I feel love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3hkDIeIGKs) by Donna Summer (unfortunately, I know the [Bronski Beat](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqlUkRDL4Sw) version better)
