Adidas?

The new Adidas commercial makes me so happy. I am glad to be shelling out money to pay for cable just so I can watch this commercial over and over again. The first time this commercial aired, Daniel and i just looked at each other and said "that is the best commercial ever." So after a bit of research I found that the commercial was directed by Spike Jones, who's movies and music videos rock my socks! And the song was created by Spike brother Squeak E. Clean and features Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Since that song is so stinken awesome I thought I would share.

Every time I turn on the TV these days it seems like someone is trying to sell me something thing with a great song. I remember a few years ago I wanted a Volkswagen because their commercials were so awesome. They even released a CD  of all the songs they used in their commercials . And now they are trying to sell me a "new" Jetta with a Kings of Leon  song *. The song is good, but I think the cars look weird. I sat in one the other day when I dropped my car off to be serviced, they seem very Camery to me. And I think part of the reason I need a iPod shuffle so bad is because they use a Caesar song** in the iPod commercial. So not only am I a sucker for good design but the music they use in the commercials helps too.

* The song is Mollys Chamber.

**The song is Jerk it Out.
