Okay, so I am now getting advertising songs stuck in my head :smack: .

Does anyone know what band does the song in the Target ad where the actors are playing video games? The last line we hear is “Complicated fun”

I think the song name is Complicated Fun, by Suicide Commandos.

Hell, that’s why It stuck in my head. I used to see them down at the 7th street back in the day.

Thanks.
