A thread a while ago asked about the song in the Mitsubishi ads–the one that said “I wish I knew what I know now/When I was younger.” The song I really need to know the name/artist of (it’s really catchy)is the one used in the ad where young people are driving the Mitsubishi sportscar. The song has kind of a dance beat, and the lyrics (as far as I can tell) go: “Put the body in motion [Repeat, a lot] …Start the commotion.” I did ask this in the original Mitsubishi thread, but no one answered me then. Anyone have this info, which would be much appreciated? (It may be a quite popular song, for all I know. I’m a bit out of the musical loop.) ---

That would be “Start the Commotion” by the Wiseguys, on their album “the Antidote”. I was able to get the album via Amazon. In future, you may find this url handy: [http://www.adcritic.com/](http://www.adcritic.com/) They often list the sources of the music used in popular commercials. ---

Thanks! I am going to try and pick that CD up. I’m not generally a dancing kind of guy, but that commercial gets me moving every time. That link was also interesting. Thank you very much.
