This song has been in a commercial for the past six months, maybe longer, and the part of it they play is almost exclusively this Train In Vain-reminiscent bass riff.

I heard the song in full at a Coffee Bean last week and it had 00s-era faux-teen pop girls singing over what sounded like an indie rawk song. Or that's what it sounded like distorted from the crowd noise. Anyway, I'm guessing the song is newish.

commercial might be for a bank. It's been used for a series of commercials. Maybe even a car.

one month passes...

This song caught my ear today, in TK Maxx (so assume not under the radar, could be very well known) but don't have a smartphone/Shazam.
Current-ish sounding pop song, female singer who sounds vocally a bit like Kate Nash or Rose Elinor Dougall, chorus sounds like
Things are not a little / Things are not a little / Something something something / Things are not a little. If was in key of C, progression would be C / D / F / C.

Bumping for first and only time, in case any at-lunch UK ILMers can help.

five months pass...

Does anyone know the name of this song - very disco-y (maybe even Italo?) where the chorus is something like "This is funky reggae music" over and over, and later in the song the singer(s) say something like "feel the african sound" and "feel the jazz sound" or something like that. It was playing distantly in the background of a room I was in.

The main thing I noted was that it *wasn't* actually funky reggae music.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I remember thinking at the time it kind of reminded me of "Don Quichotte" by Magazine 60, for a reference point...

Anyone know? Familiar but I can't place them. Thought maybe Pookiesnackenburger, The Vulcans or The Swinging Cats.
