Zune advert song

November 4, 2006 3:59 AM

There was an advertisement for the Zune music device tonight before the Borat movie. The Zune advertisement had a song playing in it that was something like "every night is Saturday night" or "every day is Saturday day" or something. And I can't seem to find it online - any ideas? Sort of an alt/pop song.

Sunday Morning by k-os?

Yeah, I'm thinking Sunday Morning by K-os too. He's a Canadian rapper. The lyric is:

Everyday is Saturday night, but I can't wait for Sunday morning

I saw that ad last night too, but it was before a screening of Marie Antoinette. I don't think it was a rap song--they were singing it.

I know this part isn't germane, but the ad seemed overwhelmingly ineffective to me. I of course compared it to the ipod ads, and here is my simple reduction of their ads:
iPod: Here is what cool is.
Zune: Please, can we hang out sometime??? OMG you're the best. Plus I'll bring over my Power Rangers pillowcase, and my mom just bought me some AWESOME cookies.

That song by k-os isn't really a conventional rap song per se. It's quite lyrical, and they play it on all the local Alt-Rock stations here

I agree, rachelpapers. I saw it before viewing "The Departed" a few weeks ago. I had no idea what the ad was for until it was over, and even then I had to get clarification from my husband.

Because of the lyrics referring to "Sundy morning,", I actually thought it would turn out to be a promo for one of the local megachurches' contemporary worship services, targeted to teens/young adults. Maybe they do some sort of mass podcast with Christian music, sort of a "holy rave" or some such gathering?

I felt dumb, but in my defense- the ad stinks!

Yeah, it's that k-os song. I just listened to it on amazon. Does that count as rap? I guess I'll have to listen to some more of his stuff.

Notice how there was NO reference to microsoft in the ad? There was only that weird time-cubey logo. I gues they don't have the street cred of the apple logo.

Sorry, I should have said singer/rapper, he does both. (The iTunes stores classifies him as Hip-Hop/Rap.)
