  • haha that Taking Back Sunday song isn't near as good as this. I saw someone said they had to sign somethin for FCR to use this. I dont understand it. All it has is the same beat...and its not too much of an uncommon beat anyway. So I think the guys should make a full song to this. it'd be amazing. 30 seconds is already great! haha

  • Eric has just posted a demo of his new song "Light In A Box" and would like his fans' opinions!

    MySpace

    GodAgainstGodBand

  • LOL 0:04 the guys face looks hilarious

    i also would have kept the other phone instead of that "dinosour" and pause at 0:08 the cashier looks constipated

  • hahah pause it at 0:04 and look at the cashiers face its so funny hes like are u sirious.

  • this is my favorite free credit report commercial :3

  • Go into the studio and put out a CD I know a lot of people will buy it.

  • I wish I could hang out with them. They're probably so cool.

  • i dunno why i strangely like this commercial

  • Like it sounds like a real song

  • This should be a 3 minute song.

  • whats the band's name?

  • the free credit report band

  • They aren't a real band, but the singer's name is Eric Violette. ;p

  • I LOVE THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE these three lovable guys!

  • It's not a real band. They're actors in a commercial! This is what they get paid to do!

  • this 1 is the best!!!!!!!!!

  • the lead guy is not French, he is Canadian (from Quebec). He is a trained muscian.

  • Yes he is! And you can hear him sing his own composition in his own voice on his YouTube channel: ericzetiger

  • Ripping off Taking Back Sunday's Timberwolves of New Jersey much?

  • Yeah, I heard that Taking Back Sundays song, nah. This freecreditreport song is fkn catchy.

  • its funny how these songs are better than most songs that are on the radio. One reason is cause its ALOT more catchy :D

  • ok ppl stop being mean to these guys!! they are awsome!! a lot of yall are sayin they ripped some song, but what if the company made the song and told them sing it?? The band wouldn't know! unless they heard the song they ripped. Point is stop being to that guys! they have to make a living some how and being a adverstising band is how they do it. All they do is sing ! im pretty sure that's all they do for the company!

  • All the songs in these commercials are written by senior copywriter Dave Muhlenfeld of the Martin Agency. Dave developed the concept of the band, writes the music, the lyrics, and sings the songs. Eric is lipsyncing. If the song is similar to "Taking Back Sunday" the guys wouldn't know that because they're from Montreal. Pandulse is right - the guys act in the commercials and nothing more.

  • This is exactly like Taking Back Sunday's song "Timberwolves at New Jersey"

  • my favorite!

  • Your credit score lowers when you look at it rofl..

  • That's not true. Checking your own score has no effect on it.

    You can get up off the floor now .........

  • i wish i could find this instrumental!

  • why are all this songs so damn catchy?!?!? hahaha

  • If you go about 40 seconds into the Ally and AJ song "not this year" it's the exact same hook...while it's pathetic that I know this, it's true

  • That riff is so sweet.

  • kool

  • all the FCR songs are always stuck in my head

  • me to and i always sing em and my family goes crazy

  • I noticed that the beginning sounds alot like the beginning of timberwolves at new jersey by taking back sunday...

  • Ever think that maybe FCR paid TBS to use their song for a commercial? S'called Royalties. Just because you hear people's music in a commercial doesn't mean the company "Stole" anything. Kids these days just don't think.

  • lol

  • Nice Fender Tele guitar.

  • this is my favorite one

  • oh yeah check out that phone could you imagine the size of the purse you need to carry to hold that one? LMAO

  • these are all asome i know all them by heart it is this thing at my school ware people memerize them

  • whats the real song to this????

  • who cares they sound good

  • this is some how catchy

  • did anyone notice the sign on the side of the bus said

    "Visit scenic Reno"?

  • Or how about the Tv in the store

  • SOOOOOOO Catchy

  • I like how people get mad (for i guess) for doing a parody of some other songs. It isnt like they a trying to win a grammy or something.

  • love it

  • I love these commercials, but the similarity with Timberwolves is just to blatant to ignore!

  • aha i saw this the other day and thought it sounded very familiar. then i realized it sounds a WHOLE lot like Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back sunday. crazy

  • i just put on my voice mail thanks!

  • this song gets stuck in my head all day!!! XP i love it!!! and the guy is cute lol!!!

  • evrybody loves these commercials, but this one is too close to taking back sunday to be their own song :D

  • Where is Grandma???? Excellent commercial:)

    Danny Jimenez

    aka Numanoid17

  • reminds me of the geico caveman

  • Best one yet

  • lmao, who comes up with these songs

  • lol i no it been like 7 of them...

  • The music and lyrics are written by Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency. He came up with the concept of the "band", which was originally going to be one radio spot. Dave promoted the idea for TV ads ... and the rest is history!!! BTW, it's Dave who is actually singing.

  • thiz iz good! wish it was a full song

  • i know!!!

  • best song ever

  • They should make a longer version, this song rocks.

  • I actually love this one best of all of the commercials so far.

  • Eric actually sings, but his voice sucks. I wonder who sings in the commercials?

  • They are acting in the commercials, however Eric is the only professional actor. Vince and Mario are musicians in Montreal. For spelling (!) it's Eric Violette, Vince Charron and Mario Telaro. Eric has a fantastic voice, but a thick French accent; thus the dubbing. Mario is an absolutely fantastic drummer. The real singer is the guy who created the "band" concept, wrote the music and wrote the lyrics, Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency, which produces these spots.

  • oh above the bike behind the guy with the white car

  • where is the pirate hat?

  • Wow, being completely honest, I actually love this song. I would put this on my iPod if it had a longer version. xD

  • Does this song sound like Timberwolves At New Jersey By Taking Back Sunday to anyone besides me?

  • My favorite is Reno, cuz it has everything! The pirate hat, The Wife, and the Old Lady!!!!!

  • I love this! The pirate hat at :23 xD

    I also like how he says "So I could hear myself as a ringtone"

    I assume he means his other commercials ^_^

  • i see the hat

  • i hope this because a actual songs.. just with different serious lyrics
