If any of you have seen the recent Nike commercials on TV, they all have this strange thing happen with either a bee or some guy and they end up showing a new Nike design. Well, in the one with the “shady milk man”, theres this song playing in the background. I was wondering if anyone here knows what song it is they are playing/sampling in the background?

Wow, I sure can’t help you there… except you might want to go look at [http://www.adcritic.com/search/?query=nike](http://www.adcritic.com/search/?query=nike) to see if one of them is the one you’re talking about. I tried to view all of them but nothing fits your description. If it’s a brand new commercial it might show up at Ad Critic soon, though, so you can keep an eye out for it there.

I must say… some of the commercials in that Marion series are _HORRIBLE_!!! You have been warned!! Specifically, stay away from the Arm, and Head installments of the commercial.

I was just disturbed trying to figure out what the “shady milkman” was putting in the milk.

If you go to the URL given in the current Nike ads, you’ll get a little popup window advertising a contest to name one of the Presto color schemes. The four color schemes that have names so far are: Shady Milkman, Brutal Honey, Catfight Shiner, and Migraine Fly.

That URL is: [http://www.nike.com/presto](http://www.nike.com/presto)
