Name that tune

[konichiwa]

Trying to find what song that is on the Lexus ad on TV...sad that I only know it from that commercial, but I like the song. It's kind of vaude-ville-ish jazz...woman singing, I don't really know how to describe it. It's the lexus commercial where the car's driving along and wherever it drives the people who are there are singing that song. I just never get enough of that wonderful stuff...

I know it's unlikely. Anyone know?

a suggestion where to look, since i dont recall seeing the commercial. Try ad critic, they have commercials and frequently include the title/artist of songs from the commercials

Thanks Boba_c!

I was thinking the very same thing the last time I saw that commercial! What the heck is it, and it's got a nice little jingle!

Ahhhhh, refreshing

Wait a minute...

What the HELL is an 'Apple Pan Dowdy?'

There was another Lexus ad that used the song "Amado Mio" by the band Pink Martini (the one where the guy drives past a reflective building and watches himself go by). They are a local Portland band and their sound is a really unique blend of jazz-swing-latin-classical music. They are really great, check them out!

Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch Shoo-fly pie is made
with molasses, but this means a lighter, sweeter sort than what can be
found in most modern grocery stores. Unless you have a source for the
old-fashioned stuff (I don't), you'll do best to sacrifice authenticity
for the sake of flavor and substitute dark corn syrup (such as Karo).


Wet-Bottom Shoo-Fly Pie

1 deep-dish ten-inch or 2 nine-inch pie crusts, unbaked.

1 cup flour
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 cup molasses or dark corn syrup
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Preheat oven to 425' F.

In a small bowl, crumb together the flour, dark brown sugar, butter and
salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg and then gradually stir in the molasses
or dark corn syrup until mixed well. In a measuring cup or small bowl,
add the baking soda to the boiling water and stir to dissolve. Then
add the water to the molasses mixture and stir until well mixed.

Pour the liquid mixture into the pie crust(s). Distribute crumbs by
hand, gently and evenly, on top of the liquid (crumbs will partly sink
and partly float).

Bake 10 minutes at 425, then reduce heat to 375 and bake another 35
minutes.

This pie is best served at room temperature.
