A few years ago, there was a clothes commercial that featured kids crumping or breaking or whatever they call it. The kids were only 12 or 13 but were quite talented (most were dancing outside, but a couple were interior shots). The clothes store wasn’t GAP or Old Navy, but something a little more “downscale”–Marshalls maybe? Penny’s? Not Ross. It was a national commercial, not a local one (the production values were good, though no “effects” other than tight editing). The song they were dancing to sounded like a hip-hop remix of Fat Boy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice”. I mostly say this because of the “You can go with this/or you can go with that” refrain repeated. It was only 30 seconds, so maybe it was a different song with the same set of lyrics. I think the commercial ended with a shot of a bobble-head doll, or perhaps a cartoon/caricature, of one of the kids dancing. Anyone know what I’m talking about and can identify the song and/or commercial? Thanks. 🙂 ---

That’d most likely be [Black Sheep](http://www.blacksheeponline.com/), “The Choice Is Yours.” (site has the audio…) ---

Yes, that’s definitely the song! Wow, that was quick. 🙂 No luck on YouTube finding the commercial though. Anyone remember the ad? ---

Wow, I guess I had no idea that song was so old. The album you linked me to isn’t even for sale on Amazon except as an LP or audio cassette! :eek: ---

OK, upon further research, the song is from [this album](http://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Sheeps-Clothing-Black-Sheep/dp/B000001G0E/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3026804-2712839?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1179272074&sr=1-1). Thanks again! ---

It’s JCPenney. I recall the CGI hip-hop character. ---

Thanks. I was hoping the answer would end up yielding a video clip somewhere, but no dice. ☹
