AmEx commercial w/Spinal Tap "Gimme Some Money"

we are truly through the alice in wonderland looking glass... and it took Madison Avenue and Spinal Tap to show us the way...

Saw Spinal Tap live last weekend in Toronto and they played this song. That's how I heard about this commercial (they told us about it). They said it wasn't them playing the song which was surprising that AmEx hired a band to sound like them when they could have done it themselves! Hahaha

Well if this is a cover, then it is the best cover ever, by far. But still, they should've gone with Spinal Tap

Greatest comment on youtube ever.

holy shit i remember this commercial!

I'm Straining to hear if they left in the line about 'Bad Checks'

Your face is OK
But your purse is too tight (Gimme some money, gimme some money)
I'm looking for pound notes, loose change, bad checks, anything

I particularly enjoyed the chick buying her dog a down jacket. I hope she's doing ok in the downturn.

Did they even realize what this song was from when they did the commercial?

it's not a real song. i mean it is, but it's mocking a certain kind of music. its meant as a joke, but over time they've became classic songs. excepted by the norm. its so strange. but cool at the sametime.

I meant accepted. excuse me
