Mental Jukebox (aka Jootbox) - Songs from Commercials

I seem to be in a super musical mood today, with a few recent commercials songs stuck in my head. Which is probably what they were trying to accomplish. But I had to google them to find out what the actual products were. So I guess the mission wasn't all that accomplished. But they've got my attention now, and I will attempt to get them stuck in your head as well.

A mellow song to sway to while doing dishes, from the Dove commercial...Wash Away by Joe Purdy. "Lost" fans may recognize this from last year. I think this would be a shoe-in for the potentially upcoming CD "Music for your Baptism Party".



And now, for the slightly vintage / modern rock sounding, get up off your butt and dance for a minute song for this week, which I learned is not called "Falling"...Here is "1901" by Phoenix. Get out your best Sprockets-like dance moves folks. It's in the recent Cadillac Crossover commercial. Here is a live studio version from some radio station.



Which reminded me of Bloc Party so I had to put this one up too in case you feel like continuing your dance party at a slightly faster pace. This amazing live clip is from a Bristol show and the energy and rawness of it made me feel like I was there. I recommend spinning in circles until you fall down. Trust me, it feels great.
Warning for those at work: I can't make it through this one without jumping up and dancing.
So press play at your own risk. Or convince your coworkers to get up and dance with you. How cool would it be to walk into the DMV and see them all gettin down for a minute?!



As I was lying on the floor recovering from circle spinning, I had a flashback to high school and my then favorite circle spinning song...Just Like Heaven by the Cure. Enjoy!
