I think it’s for the iTunes commercial anyway. The one that goes “One two three…etc.”, then has a line about “you don’t need money when you look that good, honey”. Can’t find the bloody artist and it’s making me nuts. Thanks.

The Artist is Jet. Pretty sure (not positive) the song is called “Are You Gonna be My Girl”

Apple identifies the ad as [“iPod TV Spot 2,”](http://www.apple.com/ipod/ads/) and the song is definitely “Are You Goona Be My Girl” by Jet (available on the iTunes Music Store, natch).

And their album featuring the song, _Get Born_, is great sounding, '70’s style rock, kinda AC/DC meets Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Great stuff in a fun, superficial sorta way.

I’m going to see them in about 3 weeks…
