Man, I hadn't heard that song in ages, and ever since I saw the Heineken commercial (and then checked out the real thing on Youtube), this song just keeps going through my head.

Kind of a cool commercial.

Lol, I'm with you. I went hunting for my old cd's to hear this song again.

Heineken has been putting up some really good commercials. I really like the one with the couple showing their house, with the guys screaming like chicks over a closet full of Heineken beer.

Saw the commercial during a game this week and it was the first time I had ever heard that song. What is it? I thought it must have been new.  :-[ Great tune

Funny thing...when this commercial came on I had my father in law, me, my brother in law, my son, my son's friend and my young nephew in the room. By the end of the commercial all six of us, three generations of people, almost four generations agewise, were singing the song and continued to sing it 20-30 seconds after the commercial ended.

Truly timeless and awesome commercial with perfect use of one of the greatest sing-a-long songs ever.

Haha that song is incredible...
The ad by itself though doesn't seem to make much sense... but that's ok with the right song!

TP for the OP I love this commercial
"Let me call him," Floyd said.

The man shook his head. "O.J. doesn't give out his cell," he said. "He'll call you."

Of course it makes sense - these people are all singing in a car like drunkards, b/c they are drunkards, then you're thinking, drinking and driving, not good - then you see their in a cab, and all is good in the world

though I do think the cabbie looks a little drunk...

- I also love love love the Biz - saw him at Salem State with Doug E. Fresh and Run DMC about 10 years ago, Biz absolutely stole the show to the point that RUN DMC couldn't get the crowd going at all as headliners, many people walked out

Much better than the commercial they ran last year.
Back to wanting Joe fired.
