It doesn’t happen all that often, but once in a while I hear a snippet of music that I can’t forget. This one is in a car commercial [sorry I don’t remember the type of car either] with a girl dancing in the front passenger seat. “Oh, snap, she’s doing the tick-tock in the car!” according to my youngest son.
Well, now a local radio station has now started playing the full version of the song which goes kinda,sorta like this: as days go by… when I think of you… missing you. And, of course, the radio station dj never identifies the performer or the title of the song.
Can you help me out? Doesn’t it drive you nuts when this happens?

I think this was covered in a “songs commercials use” thread, but I believe the answer is _Days Go By_ by **Dirty Vegas**.
