Oh that turned my stomach. I love the original version of this song but the way they chopped it up to fit into the commercial just sounds unnatural and heinous; they skipped a part where the chords add energy, jumped straight to a minor fall and absolutely murdered the mood with a pitchfork. In the words of the late great Bill Hicks, if you work in advertising, just kill yourself. Seriously.
@dsjj251 - They meant that the other colors are being racist to the single color Green by having less of it . It's just kinda switched up I guess you could say.
ie. Less white. More Black. (Just an example!!!!!<)
You know, I've saw the film "Canvas" (unbelievable film) a while back and really wanted to find this song and now I stumble across it! Its amazing what boredom on youtube can lead to :P
The 88 are feature on Mocospace this is their only song I liked but like less after the sellout. Its like the Right Now song by VanHalen being used for the now defunked new cola ads. Like the Stones Start It Up used to promote Bill Gates stuff. Remember This Notes For You? By Neil Young? I aint singing for no one makes me look like a joke?
uhhhh okay...i believe your not rascist lady but...if your sister has a hispanic boyfriend that makes her not rascist....that doesnt really prove anything about you lol.
Per an interview with the band "We got the name from the title of a French Kicks song. There are 88 keys on a piano, which is an important part of the sound of our band."

I don't see how this guy can be mistaken for Jack White. Jack doesn't sing this well, lol. I say that affectionately as a major White Stripes fan!

Yes, and targets have, historically, been used as markers to show where someone should be struck with a bullet, arrow, etc.
...and? Almost anything has a relationship with something that's bad, if one looks for that connection.

Targé is the way to go! but 88 has to go.
This number has been used by known white supremacist groups as slang for "Heil Hitler".
