There’s a new (relatively) commercial with a woman & a man lip-synching to a song-the lyrics go, “I wish/that/ I knew what I knew now/ When I was younger”. Is this is real song and if so, what’s the name of it & the artist it’s by? Thanks!
Badly played 12-string acoustic guitar plus mandolin, with whiny, badly harmonized vocals that make me hit the MUTE button every time I hear it, it could only be the Grateful Dead. Or some derivative thereof.
And to the deadheads out there, I have only one thing to say. No, I don’t have any spare change.
Rod Stewart, I believe.
I don’t know why I know that. My brain tends to collect useless information and prioritize it over useful info

Damn! Sorry about the double post…damn lag…
I just asked this exact question a few days ago!
It’s “When I Was Younger” by Rod Stewart.
I’m positive it’s not the Grateful Dead. I think it’s Rod Stewart in this particular commercial. There’s another version on the Rushmore soundtrack done by “The Faces” called “Ooh La La.” If you decide to buy a CD for that song alone get the Rushmore soundtrack, it’s got some other good songs too. Great movie, by the way.
Its the title song to “Oh La La” as has been pointed out. Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Ian McGlagen, Kenny Jones, and the rest of the The Faces. Don’t bother buying the album, its the only worthwhile song on the whole thing (Rod Stewart left after this debacle). Get the “Rushmore” soundtrack instead.
This is the kind of post that slows down SDMBs so much…there was this exact same question on here about 3 days ago…
Did you read my post above? I was the one who asked it.
On a related note, what is the artist/song in the other Mitsubishi commercial–the one for the Eclipse? It’s a sort of dance-sounding song, with the lyrics (I think) “put the body in motion” repeatedly, then something about “stop the commotion.” I’m a bit out of the loop as far as new music, so I’m sure it’s something pretty common, but what is it?
