[paddyanglais91]

This song seems way ahead of its time.

[jamoncure]

wow, I'm glad that people listen to the music in movies! I also heard it on "The Italian Job", but recently heard it on a commercial for makeup on TV. My husband is a bandleader in Las Vegas and I asked him to write it up and play it next time he has a gig at one of the old downtown hotels....they play classics, and this is certainly one of them. Love this song!

[aexcentric1]

I remember hearing this very song from the movie Italian Job. Whenever I was in a airplane this song would get in my head. Whenever I thought of Disney Land I thought of this. I got to go to Cali after not going for many years and this song was in my head the whole trip. I love California. I still dream about my experience there. I finally understood this song when I went there at age 19 instead of the last time I went at age 10.

[BojanPajic]

Dockers. <3

[Vladesculos]

Driver San Francisco, Lincoln Lawyer brought me here. very cool song

[ipodxdude]

I enjoy that people from different backgrounds from gamers to people who grew up with this music both agree that this music is at a state of excellence that cannot be found elsewhere, it unites us as humans and friendships are made, i wish people wouldn't try to divide each other just because they heard the song in a different place, that's just stupid, its what civil wars are built on, both are fighting under the same flag, who do you root for? for the person you are? WHAT AN IGNORANT QUARREL.

[JJOLLYJOHN]

the italian job brought me here thumbs up ::::

[LakersDynasty42]

@JJOLLYJOHN "The Italian Job" brought me here too.

[Xzamilloh]

Can we please start spamming these Thumbs Up queens? If you have to ask for it, you don't deserve it!!!!

[buckybaby29]

Thumbs up if NOTHING brought you, just a love of good music.

[KayP911DanceTeam]

@buckybaby29 amen!

[yummyboy226]

@buckybaby29 Don't you guys understand they came here for the good music... :S They're just telling people where they heard it. You're not witty saying that.

[arj3191]

@buckybaby29 who cares what brings you to a video, obv its a good song, which why its been used in a commercial, better to spread the word about good music than feel special that you "knew" the song before it was on a commercial...

[yummyboy226]

@buckybaby29 People who ask for thumbs up are worse then people who acknowledge where they heard music, btw.

[buckybaby29]

@yummyboy226 I'm glad it took you 6 days to figure this out after your first comment. Why don't you just enjoy the music and ignore the comments if you're that peeved about mine?

[sockglue]

is it sad that every comment on this song is about what brought them here, rather than about the actual song and its epicness?

[15tennisstar]

Thumbs up if you found out about this song because of the fall Target commercial.

[asrah55]

A skillz remix!!

[gradydw]

one of the few tracks that rolled off the chess label that actually in my opinion beats motown's version.

[ChuckmasterFlex]

Thumbs up if DJ Shadow brought you here
