\*\*Black Eyed Peas \*\* did a TV commercial some years back. I think it was a Best Buy spot. There was something about starting and stopping a songe, something with an MP3 player maybe.

I liked the song they were doing, but I never knew the name. I looked through some of their stuff in ITunes but came up empty.

Anyone know the song?

Has Quentin Tarantino used that in one or more of his films? It just sounds like something he’d slide in. And thanks for ID’ing that, it’s one of those songs that I know but never knew, if you know what I mean.
