Name that tune!

Today during NFL games, there was an IBM ad that featured big hits, quarterbacks getting sacked, etc. In the background a delightful jazz tune was playing, kind of an antithesis to the action on screen. What was the song?

Best answer: If this is the commercial you're talking about, then I think the song is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Report back!

Best answer: It seems to be this version by Coleman Hawkins. (Luckily I only had to listen through 8 others to find it.)

(Oops, I didn't realize thebazilist linked to the right version too. Impressive.)
