Cingular commercial Blondie cover

[Auriaprottu]

Question about the acoustic guitar cover of Hanging On The Telephone... who sings it? Is this a partial tune done just for the commercial, or is the whole song available on a CD? TIA

I've wondered this myself.

The pedant in me forces me to note that the Blondie's version is itself a cover. The original was by the Nerves.

I did not know that. Thanks!

I do still hope this latest version is actually an entire song, and on a CD somewhere. I'm reminded of the (very) short clip of a cover of Crosby, Stills, & Nash's Carry On that played in a commercial during either the 2002 World Series or Super Bowl XXXVII (Jan 2003). That was a cool sound bite, as well.

Real like "on her driver's license" real? I hope she changed it herself. See, that's right up there with Zowie Bowie and Moon Unit Zappa.. no good reason to do that to your own child.

Bah. So I guess the commercial's all I'll get of that song.
