Hello. I was just wondering if anyone knew which song is being played on one of the new Saturn commercials. It’s the one with the streets full of cardboard-box cars. Thanks!

It looks like the song is **We’ve Been Had** by **The Walkmen**.

Hope it’s the one you’re looking for. 🙂

No, “We’ve Been Had” is the song that plays in the commercial where the car is driving in the desert (I think). At least, it’s not the one playing in the ad with the cardboard boxes.
