Anyone notice something familiar about the music playing during the Pennzoil Ultra Commercial? 
It’s from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The one with Brad in the bathroom dreaming of Phoebe Cates.

What the heck was Pennzoil thinking? That’s pretty far out there for a tv commercial.
That’s “Moving in Stereo” by The Cars. Not at all an unpopular song on the radio, and one released on an album five years before the movie.
I’ve seen the scene, but I don’t associate the song and the scene all that much, because it gets pretty strong radio play on classic rock stations.
Mods can you move to Cafe?
I screwed up. I could have sworn I was in Cafe when I hit new post.
Merci beaucoup
Wow thanks. I always thought it was something written for the movie. Nice to know the real song name.
Sex sells. They could have shown a sexy girl in a bikini holding the oil, but instead used a song that made you think of a sexy girl in a bikini.
Must… buy…Pennzoil…
Done.
