DJ Scott: No, you’re not going to hear Pink Floyd’s Money or Industrial Disease by Dire Straits in this mix. The title stems from the appearance of these songs in recent television commercials. This playlist is actually pretty interesting even though advertisements can be really annoying. I’ve linked to the associated commercials on YouTube below if you’re interested.

Tracklist (click a song title to buy the high quality, DRM-free MP3 from Amazon):

  1. Everybody’s Happy Nowadays – The Buzzcocks (AARP)
  2. The Funeral – Band of Horses (Ford)
  3. Sky Blue Sky – Wilco (VW)
  4. So Here We Are – Bloc Party (Saturn)
  5. How Can it Be? – Forever Thursday (JC Penney)
  6. Hello Goodbye – Jump5 (close enough) (Target)
  7. The W.A.N.D. – The Flaming Lips (Dell)
  8. Such Great Heights – The Postal Service (UPS)
  9. Souvenirs – Architecture in Helsinki (Sprint)
  10. Remind Me – Royksopp (Geico)
  11. Love Train – Wolfmother (Apple)
  12. Mad World – Michael Andrews & Gary Jules (Gears of War)

Gen1us icon“People with RLS feel uncomfortable sensations in their legs, especially when sitting or lying down, accompanied by an irresistible urge to move about.” Like they got ants in their pants and they just gotta dance? “…often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs.” So, that’s a yes.

Am I really going to mock what I’m sure is a severely inconvenient affliction, just for a title for this post? Of course not. Well, maybe a bit.

These are the kinds of songs that interface directly with your nervous system. Prepare for a case of happy feet.

  1. Andrew Vincent and the Pirates – Bahamas
  2. Glittertind – Flaumen Gar, I Norge er Var
  3. OOIOO – uma
  4. Cloak/Dagger – JC Pays the Bills
  5. Thomas Dolby – The Key to Her Ferrari
  6. The Mountain Goats – Palmcorder Yajna
  7. The Thermals – Pillar of Salt
  8. The Slackers – Peculiar
  9. Clutch – 10,000 Witnesses
  10. Primus – Mr. Knowitall
  11. Return to Forever – Sofistifunk
  12. The Cure – Why Can’t I Be You
  13. Les Savy Fav – Dishonest Dan, Pt. 2
  14. The Dismemberment Plan – Girl O’Clock
  15. The Buzzcocks – Oh Shit
  16. Mojo Nixon – Girlfriend in a Coma
  17. Gitfiddle Jim – Paddlin’ Madeline blues
  18. The Big Bopper – Chantilly Lace
  19. Bad Brains – I Against I
  20. Fishbone – Housework

note: there’s a bit of a glitch in the Mojo Nixon track and I apologize for that. Also, I’ll work on getting my voice levels higher for the next one.
