Can anyone identify the song being used in the TV trailer for "The Weatherman"?

The "la la la la la la lala lala" is stuck in my head. I think there's also a lyric that goes "When I'm wrong I'm wrong."

That would be "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop, track 10

they also seem to have been running it with a Ben Kweller track as well -- In Other Words which is a great tune.

There's a Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of the Passenger; are we sure it's not that version? (I haven't heard the original, so I wouldn't know.)

Yes, we're sure. Siouxsie's is a good cover, but this is definitely the original.

Nice to see Iggy making some licensing bucks in his declining years...

The Ben Kweller song is "Falling". It's lovely.

I realize your question is answered, but perhaps someone will stumble on this question trying to find the other la la la la la song.
