Here is my ipod challenge to you; I am of a generation that is not really the target audience for the commercials you see on the tv. While, we own 2 of the things, I can’t say I can name any of the pieces of music that are used in the advertising campaign. (Well, with the possible exception of the U2 song.) But, I have to admit, while some of it seems a little manic to me, it’s grown on me. And I’ve come to think I’d like to try making a playlist of all the songs they use in the ads. Y’know, for when I feel all manic and stuff. I have little hope of doing this as I cannot even identify the songs or the performers. :o So, my challenge to you is how many of the songs can you name? Extra points for the names of the bands as well! Thanks for your help! 😃 ---

Uh. Wynton Marsalis. _Hey Kids, This Is What Jazz Sounds Like._ Some Guy With A Stocking Cap. _Music To Jump Up And Down Like An Idiot By._ I guess I’m not in that target demo, either. :rolleyes: ---
