There’s a new Jeep commercial where they play what sounds like a Michael Jackson cover of A Horse With No Name but with the words changed a bit. Has anyone heard it? Does anyone know what song it is? ---

I just googled it. It’s a new Michael Jackson song called [A Place With No Name.](http://m.billboard.com/entry/view/id/96680) ---

That’s a clever trick. Songs okay, if a little dated. The video sucks, though. ---

Thank you! Now I can prove I’m not crazy to my husband who looked at me all askance when I asked him if he remembered Michael Jackson doing Horse With No Name except it’s about a jeep and not a horse. ---

On a similar topic what is the new Ford tune? Sounds like whistling? ---

Is this the song about the guy’s Jeep beginning to rot when he hit the desert? Doesn’t say much about the quality of the product. Then again, with Jeep being owned by Fiat, maybe it’s just a shout out to th brand’s legendary reliability. ---

Then again, with Jeep being owned by Fiat, maybe it’s just a shout out to th brand’s legendary reliability. I think he says “rock”. If were are doing name the song in the commercial, how about one I’ve heard in at least two commercials-- one for a hotel in Las Vegas and one for Kohl’s. ---

[http://www.whatisthatsong.net/commercials/commercials.html](http://www.whatisthatsong.net/commercials/commercials.html) can usually find a song playing on an ad, if you know the company’s name. ---
