My boyfriend poses this question:
A question about Paul McCartney’s commercial for Fidelity Investments:
I saw their commercial today on TV. It’s detailed here. But for the life of me, I cannot place the song, and it’s driving me mad. It’s only a guitar riff, and no lyrics are in the commercial, so I can’t google it. Does anyone know what it is?
Is there a link to the ad online?
IIRC it’s a medley of a bunch of his songs, strongly featuring band on the run.
Band on the Run. It’s a great guitar riff (there are some horns in there too)- I wish the song was better.
Sorry to be reviving this thread, but it wouldn’t happen to be the single from his new album (Chaos & Creation in the Backyard), “A Fine Line,” would it? I hear this is featured in a new commercial, but it might be a Lexus commercial (the company that happens to be sponsoring his new tour). Damn corporate bastards. I was hoping Macca wasn’t a sell-out, but who can you trust these days, right?
Sorry, too much beer and a SDMB search for “McCartney” - I was asking for trouble.
Marley23 got it. It is Band on the Run.
