New T Mobile My Touch - Creepiest Corporate Sellout Cat Stevens

[HelloFade2]

This commercial makes me want to stage elaborate suicides while starting a relationship with an much much older but lively and free spirited woman.

[cclarke1804]

This is a great song. At worst, it may serve to introduce a younger audience to this man's great music, who, given the current obsession with talent shows and manufactured music, seldom hear songs with any real soul. I think it's worthily placed here for that reason.

[munkeyfuuk]

This song is shit anyway, so who gives a fuck if its on a shitty commerical. the only reason i wash it wasnt is because this song gets stuck in my head and makes me think about all the ugly fucks in this commerical. As the great paton oswalt said, " I hate hippies and i hate rednecks, im a man without a country!"

[Motherfo1]

I can't believe you people, and by "you people" I don't mean exactly all of you. I'm talking about those that are in the same level as the one that posted this vid. He is now allowed in the United States. They made a mistake in '04. He wrote a song(which DOLLY PARTON collaborated in) which came out in '09 (you can find the video here on youtube called "boots and sand" that lights some humor about the situation. WE ALL LEARNED TO READ BEFORE WE WROTE. Therefore, even now you should do the same!!!

[209kathy]

If I want to sing out, I would. But not in support of a crappy cell phone company. Wha a sad isa in a wild world! My father and son ask where do the children play? Oh very young hard headed consumers... Puleese buy Yuself's cash escape clause. Oy vey!

[RickyRicardoJr]

Is that Phil Jackson - the second person to grab the fone?

[saintnash]

markcheetah2 is the only one of you who has

intellect enough to rise above the lie that is Cat Yusef . I'm very ashamed to have been a college student in the early '70s as we are the generation

who created and accepted such nonsense.

[annamaechika]

Who caresss! this song is perfect for this commercial

[realbeandiesel]

"That the funds from his music support actions that lead ultimately to the death of people is very sad."

In 2004, Nobel Peace Laureates awarded him with the Man of Peace award. I guess those laureates don't know what you know about Yusuf's "terrorism funds", huh?

[realbeandiesel]

anyway, how can the same people who call him a sellout for allowing a big company to use his music for a commercial, also criticize him for leaving the showbiz back then? You are a sellout if you betray your principles for money. If Cat chose to stay in showbiz and to make millions more, instead of staying true to himself and did what he felt right at the time (to leave showbiz), wouldn't he have been a sellout?

[realbeandiesel]

"if I am wrong but is he still a an anti-American Islamist?"

Yup, he is. In fact, he was not allowed into the US in 2004. He was on his way to meet his collaborator, Dolly Parton. That is so anti-American Islamist of him.

This year he also promoted his latest propaganda CD on Jay Leno's and Jimmy Fallon's shows. The CD was reportedly recorded in various isolated caves of Afghanistan.

[resourcesforlife]

What about all the other people who appeared in the commercial? Aren't they "selling out" too? Or, is it simply just an upbeat informative commercial about a phone, in which case, nobody really sold out.

[pooabigpoo]

I don't see him and I doubt he wanted to do it... maybe he either:

A. needed cash

OR

B. he didn't own the rights?

[Bluegirl4me]

It's all about the money

[LightsOutWay]

I hate this commercial. It just makes me think this phone is aimed for the elderly.

[liwtumrn]

i hate commercial music. it ruins the song but they usually use a douchebag song in the first place

[th3KID96]

Aarrrgghh!! im so mad.. i cant find the case the guy at 0:14 with the red phone has... :(

[WebkinzLova4455]

i think you customize the cases but idk

[Taboo264]

what song is this

[Firecloud500]

If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out - Cat Stevens

[eurydicejones]

In addition to Cat Stevens calling for the death of the author Salman Rushdie, Whoopie Goldberg is a supporter of dogfighting, and vigourously defended the despicable dogfighter Michael Vick upon his arrest.

[Puppidog667]

I love this commercial! :)

[kmerkz1]

the guy is jesse james

[MKIced]

Who is the weird looking tall and old guy? He doesn't seem very proportionate..... His legs seem too short and skinny for his large torso...

[tubeskid]

That's Phil Jackson, Lakers' head coach, and player for the NY Knicks "back in the day"....Come to think of it, his body always did look long with wide shoulders.....

[bomby4130]

who is the guy w/ the black shirt and tattoos

[jperofloc]

When did Lil wayne start wearin glasses? haah and he got a new t-mobile touch hahahahaha

[FuckObamasMama]

Whoopie Goldberg is a racist,and a fascist.

[FuckObamasMama]

Yusuf has recieved awards from the fascist,anti-American liberal community.

And although radical islam is considered a fringe of islam,Islam grins at their hatred for the west,and the and madness.

[murve33]

I don't think there is such thing as a Fascist Liberal. Or a community of them that hands out awards.

[guzzlingreentea]

Just because a person practices Islam does NOT mean they're a terrorist. What a narrow-minded thing to say. Yusuf has won multiple awards for promoting peace in the world. He made a beautiful statement following 9/11 saying "no right-thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action" the statement was longer, but you can read it on Wikipedia. Bringing this song back through commercial is not wrong. It's a beautiful song and how great that we get to be exposed to it again.

[onlymikey]

Because of its use in the film Harold and Maude, this song is very significant to many, many people. Its appearance in this commercial is a perversion of the original intent, when Stevens didn't even release the song for fear that it would water down the effect it had in the film.

[Ductoman]

Well, I like the commercial, but I don't understand what taraisastar is trying to say in the info.....

[guzzlingreentea]

Love this commercial and despite whoever Cat Stevens was or is, whether we like it or not, this is undoubtedly a great song.

[beyondalohas]

AKA (Yusef Islam) stevens was suppose to be banned and was NOT allowed to enter the USA, he was from England back when Cults and communes were alternative life styles, he went Islamic, he says: if the Quran says to kill then it must be done! he also hosted Islamic conventions in DC. theres nothing great about him or any other liberal, marxist, anti-american, hate mongers, terrorist supporter

[murve33]

There has never been an account of him supporting terrorism. Perhaps you're thinking of the account that ended in Libel. Also, being Muslim doesn't make you a terrorist or an anti-American.

[MarkCheetah2]

I never liked Cat Stevens in the first place, or any of the other "singer/songwriter" types like Jim Croce, James Taylor or Harry Chapin.  Now that he's sold his song out, changed his name to "Yusuf Islam," become a religious fundamentalist; and possibly even a supporter of terrorism... I like him even less.

Safe to say this commercial bugs me.

[beyondalohas]

DITTOs... i thought he was over with. guess it goes to show who and what T-Mobile is about.

[stateofbeth]

I'm with taraisastar - what a sad, sad sellout. is anything sacred? is every tune up for grabs? and to sell some bullshit cellphone...hello, hell in a handbasket.

et tu, cat stevens? et tu?

[onlymikey]

If he needed the money, I would have gladly given him fifty bucks just to stop this from happening. So sad.

[personosrep]

I think he was paid a little bit more than $50 for this commercial

[TFengineer]

Seriously.

[TheDownloadStudio]

your a stubborn devil

[catsolo9]

...who would of thought i'd see Whoopi standing one body away from Jesse James. Love these people...

[ElComadreja777]

Cat Stevens is a fucking disgrace to himself, his family, and the Greek people. Skata na fas mulllaka.

[punketa32]

I LOVE THIS SONGGG!! and the commercial is sooo cute!!

[beyondalohas]

wake up and grow up. you idiot, learn to think for yourself before opening your mouth!

[punketa32]

uhm... okay weirrdoo, I dont understand...? I just said it was cute... hmmmmm..

anw...=) reply back and tell me wtf is ur prob.? =)

[hellokittyrocksyodad]

who's the last guy in the video?

[taraisastar]

Jesse James, Sandra Bullock's husband. All cool people, but seriously, what is up with hollywood, like brainless money hungry eye candy. I guess its like screw the scrupples, give me my check. The message in the song is beautiful, but living in this town, I realize that everytime this song is played there is a monetary check going out to Cat. And it is like where is that money going? We have all personally had to ask our selves lately. So pose it here to them, before say LA see's a catastrophe

[beyondalohas]

are you deformed in the brain? YES

[murve33]

You're a freak. And this is coming from an extreme leftist liberal. Let the man do what he wants with his music.

[MarkCheetah2]

Who are you calling a freak? I'm an extreme leftist liberal too. And there's a pretty good chance this dude supports terrorist organizations. When the US decided not to let him into the country, I'm sure they didn't "flip a coin" or anything. What I'm saying is, they probably had EVIDENCE. Evidence that neither you nor I know anything about... all that stuff is classified.

So now, he's making some money off this commercial. I wonder where he's sending it?

[murve33]

That sounds like paranoia to me.

[filomondo1]

His friends use their Tmobiles to detonate road side bombs.

[ImDaFutureMrsLautner]

Didn't Cat Stevens sanctioned the murder of author Salmon Rushdie because Rushdie used some words in one of his novels that Muslims consider offensive.?

[brianna4223]

ur an idiot cat stevens was the man and this song fits this commercial perfectly

[lennythelinx]

is it just me or is that fred durest at :14 to :23

[abdullahph]

nah dude its phil jackson .. lakers head coach

[semigotbanned]
