Have you seen or, more importantly, heard the new Old Navy commercials for the holiday season? The ads use the tagline "Gifts that warm/pamper/play" and all three feature a woman singing a song that I really couldn't understand. In fact, I wasn't even sure if she was singing in English for most of the song. After a few thousand times of seeing the commercial and not knowing what was being said other than "all it takes is a little faith...", I finally decided to look online for information on the song used in the campaign. First, I was able to find videos of the ads. Here are two of them.
After finding the videos, I found the lyrics and was shocked to discover that she was singing in English. I couldn't believe it. Watching the ads, I could hear a couple of lines in English, but the rest just simply didn't make any sense. Finally, it all made sense when I learned who the artist performing the song was*:
*Ok, fine. It's not really the Swedish Chef. The song is called "Stars" and it's performed by The Weepies.

They should do a duet with Vedder!
I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know - If you know what I mean...errr...
What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?
And yes, I think she and Edie Brickell would get along splendidly.
I wish I had girls that hot dressed like that under MY tree Xmas morning. Grandma just isn't the same somehow...
