A recent ATT mLife commercial is using a (Punk?) rock song, that has a chorus? that goes “ay, (beat) oh (beat) let’s go!”

What is this song?

I always mishear the opening lines as “gonna eat my passport” and it is about time I corrected myself.

It’s Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones. Great song. Seeing the commercial eight times a day has made me loathe it.

Same question about a different mLife commercial: The commercial is the one where the daughter is moving into a new apartment and the dad slips a cell phone under the door.

The song goes something along the lines of “Hey, hello, now that you’re finally on your own…” and that’s about all I remember.

Any idea as to what the song was?

**MilTan** , I typed those lyrics into Yahoo and came up with another MB. One of the posters there said it was made especially for ATT. I don’t know the quality of that information/MB, but I couldn’t find anything else.
