**Not** the song in the linked Youtube vid. What is the song that originally appears on this Gap ad? Goes something like _Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Girl… before you walk out that door…_ Also, nice use of a 76 BMW 2002! (But a Roundie would have been ever better!) ---

Try “Wait A Minute” by The Newday. ---

That’s it! Thanks. I had to re-watch the ad to check out the car, then thought that song was kinda catchy, then noticed there is a _girl!_ 😃 I need to get my priorities in order.
