… that I keep hearing as soundtrack on commercials (Intel?)? Female vocal, very scat, maybe something like “Do Your Thing”.

There is a “Do your thing” song on the Levi’s commercials that is by Basement Jaxx off of the _Rooty_ album. Not sure if this is the one you are talking about.

Sorry, meant to point you to the sample [here.](http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/itemid=1390242/)

(If that link didn’t work, it’s at [www.cdnow.com](http://www.cdnow.com))

CDnow has an area called “Seen and Heard in Commercials” with this type of info (it’s where I found this one).

Found it! Thanks a lot. I really think that’s a pretty cool tune.
