Check it Out - Komeda

The Old Navy "Make it Madras" commercial features the song "Check it Out" by Komeda, which is available on their Kokomemedada album, specifically the U.S. May 4 2004 release with bonus track.

Amazon doesn't list the bonus track, but I'm in the process of verifying the U.S. release of the Kokomemedada album they sell does have the bonus track.
Update 2006-06-02
I've purchased Kokomemedada from amazon, and it does indeed have the bonus track.

Other sites list the U.S release as having the bonus track. You can check a list of retailers here: http://www.google.com/musiclp?lid=eqTYO-y1BVG
Some of them such as Barnes and Noble list the bonus track.

I've also sent a request to iTunes to add the song. You could do the same if you want, because I think the more requests they get, the more likely they'll try to add it. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Update 2006-06-02
Who's the blonde in the Old Navy Madras commercial?
According to a comment at a blog for a different Old Navy girl, the Madras actress is New View model Autumn Armstrong.

Song from Coca-Cola ad 'Fountain Pour'

The song from the Coca-Cola commercial 'Fountain Pour' - I'm a Criminal

Someone had asked me about this commercial in an mredkj feedback a few weeks ago, but I just now put up a page about it, because Matt found that the ad ("Fountain Pour") was up at coke.com

Song in the Budweiser Select Commercial - Galvanize

The song from the Budweiser Select commercials - Galvanize

I received an mredkj.com feedback asking about a song in a Budweiser Select ad, and the writer said some of the lyrics were "Don't give up...there's a partyover here...don't give up world..." I did a little research and found the song lyrics are "The world is holding back"

The song is "Galvanize" by The Chemical Brothers (featuring Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest), which is available on the album Push the Button.

For more information about the ad, refer to my mredkj.com page about the Bud Select commercials.

2006-03-11. I decided put up a page about the commercial at mredkj.com. It's against the rules to have AdSense ads on a page that includes "Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol". But I should be ok since I'm not putting their ads up on that particular page. I'm basing that on a response I got from Google AdSense support.

Ever had an idea, and then discovered someone else patented it? Well, that happened to me, but in this case, I don't think anyone should have a patent on this idea. Read why
