My question concerns a current Volvo Automobile Advertisement currently seen on the Learning Cable Channel. The advertisement concerns a man driving back and forth between his son at a swimming contest and his daughter at a soccer game. It is the background music/song that I am interested in obtaining. The song has the catchy refrain: “Keep Running Boys.” What is the name and performing artist of this song and where can it be purchased?

I haven’t heard the ad myself, but a quick search of Google doesn’t turn up the phrase “keep running boys”. Is it possible they’re using the Spencer Davis Group song “Keep On Running”, slightly altered for commercial use?

Alternatively, perhaps it’s just a jingle written for the ad campaign.
