  • I'm thinking they should've used line dancing to push the tight jeans that Dwight usually wore, if anything! Love the song and dancing, but using it to push the wrong item I think..

  • My dad bought me a pair of khaki pants last year. I burnt them in a trash can.

  • i used to work at the gap when these commercials came out(country, go go, etc) fall and holiday Gap commercials used to be so fun and creative. not so much now

  • lol...khaki pants...only in america

  • Great commercial. Fits right in with all the other dance commrecials Gap put out. Simple message..buy khakis and have fun dancing in them..whatever kind you do..swing, country, whatever.

  • Mannequins... because the world is in a recession.

  • sorry, but this is a shit commercial. on another note, whoever says this is creative is...not very smart. i wouldnt call people dancing = creative commercial. we've got great commercials these days; old spice, and Apple are some of them.

  • God, I hate khakis.

  • I miss Gap's old ads like these. The Manikin ad campaigns just aren't as good as these. They used to be the greatest commercials ever, especially during the holidays.

    Especially this one.

  • @BioDG Aren't the manikin commercials Old Navy?

  • So stereotypical.

  • Love Dwight, but Khaki's and Cowboys = EPIC FAIL!!!!

  • I remeber watching this commerical when i was 3. I still love it

  • still great for being a few  years outdated

  • Comment removed

  • who is doing this version of the song?

  • Dwight Yoakum recorded this version of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love".

  • This commercial made me go out and buy khaki pants and a skirt from the gap. It was very influential being that I am black and black girls was not into khaki then!!!!!

  • This commercial is so damn creative. What happen to advertising these days.

  • @Gegray I know! i miss these commercials, now we have to watch those terrible Old Navy commercials...ugh

  • @laura83park Yeah I'm sick of those commercials too. It's time to start using REAL people not ugly manikins.

  • @Gegray Oh I sooo agree, this was brilliant advertising

  • " ... you're not your fuckin' khakis.

    You're the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world. "

  • @metalfighter91 ?? What is that quote from? Sounds familiar...

  • @mountaingirlcanada

    He took a personal liberty with a Fight Club quote. You can thank Chuck Palahniuk

  • haha!

  • I remember falling in love with all the Gap Khaki commercials when I was 12 or 13. Nostalgia.

  • UGH!

  • anyone remembers the Gap ads that took scenes from Westside story? I remember there being two; one reworking 'America', and the other(a gap jeans ad) reworking 'Keep it cool'. A friend of mine says it wasn't Gap that did those ads, but I could have sworn it was. Am I wrong?

  • Yeah, I remember those. Gap did those ads. There were three of them: one had "America", one had "Play it cool", and one had the "Mambo" dance off. Hope this helps.

  • Thank you. I knew I was right. although I got the title wrong(duh on my part). I finally found the 'Play it cool' ad here on youtube. I'm happy I found that one! :)

  • I remember seeing this when I first started Line Dancing!  Wow good times

  • lmao woww.. the Gap definately made sure to reach every demographic.

  • It's so hard to believe this was 10-11 yrs ago LOL

    It doesn't feel that way!! Feels like they came out no more than 5 yrs ago haha

  • Unabhängig von der Wergung: Gibt's eigentlich irgendwo eine Gruppe wo Line Dance genauso getanzt wird? Das sieht richtig klasse aus!

  • I love these old '97/'98 Gap commercials!

  • It's funny how these clothes in this commercial were considered hip during it's original airdate. Now it's the dress of out-of shape (and work)IT personnel.

  • Who is the one with short hair at 0:09 and 0:10? I have loved this woman for 10 years.

  • this was NOT 97/98.... damn, this was out when i was like 8 or 9, but i remember it really well.

  • I cant believe this video is 10 years old already.

  • They know how to get down country style!

  • As much as I love the Gap ads, they still don't make me wanna buy khakis

  • khakis suck because of the splashback from the urinal. ya'll know what i'm talking about. and we can't stand from the urinal because other guys might wanna look at our junk. i'm just sayin...

  • What's the name of this song?

  • Dwight Yoakam's cover of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". Gotta love the Internet....

  • Its Dwight Yoakams version, assclown. This song was written and recorded by Queen 3 years AFTER Elvis DIED. Get a clue.

  • yay! i love this song and this commercial.

  • omg lol i love all these commercails!...i wouldnt remember them cus i was like 4 when they were out
