Apple has launched its new iPod shuffle and the people are dancing on the screen again.
This time its to the tune "Jerk it out" by Caesars Palace. Great song I.. love it... and have loved it for over 2.5 years... and even then I was late to get on that bandwaggon, because its was a top 40 hit in sweden in like 2000...
But now its on an iPod commercial and everyone and their brother is all of a sudden going to be all like "Oh I just love that song" and suck the cool right out of it. I am one of those irrational people that is protective of their music. Instead of being happy for a band that I like getting a break and getting the chance to sell 5 million copies of their album, I get annoyed that all of a sudden 5 million clueless dweebs are going to take a song that I dig and turn it into their flavour of the week. And, I get annoyed to think that if people were to catch me listening to the song they would think that I am listening to it because it was on a commercial. *sigh* How cool is something if everyone thinks its cool?
Bah... andyway - the band released their recordings under the name "the Caesars" and/or "the Twelve Caesars" in North America. So if you must have the song search for those names and the title "jerk it out".
