What is the song from the Lincoln auto ads? It is a jazzy/acid jazz song. Currently it is in the Lincoln Navigator ad. A previous commercial had a guy sitting in the vehicle who was playing with all of the power features while a band played in a nearby building. Anyone know this song? ---

Not that you asked, but it samples [“Bird’s Lament” by Moondog](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000026QJ/qid=1047278964/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/002-5294805-1103200?v=glance&s=music&n=507846). And that’s a phenomenal album. IMO the remix was completely unnecessary – the original percussion is so cool that adding a drum machine just seems silly. There’s another version of it on [Sax Pax for a Sax](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002JF3/qid=1047279253/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-5294805-1103200?v=glance&s=music&n=507846), another Moondog album which is a little bit easier to get into – a lot of the tracks on “Moondog” are rounds and chorals which just get boring quickly. ---
