This may be the wrong forum to post this, but I had a quick question regarding the music from a particular commercial that's been playing this month (in the US, at least).

Also, to increase thread useability, this could also serve as a thread for folks to randomly post questions regarding the music in film or television programs/commercials, and the who/what/wherefores of it, and links to on-line representations of said programs.

So, on that note...

1) There's a new commercial from Nintendo promoting Super Mario Advance 4 for the Game Boy Advance - It's a phenomenal commercial, and you can check it out here:

Windows Media (narrowband)

Windows Media (broadband)

Quicktime

Does anybody know the Japanese song that's playing during the promo, and/or who it's by?


2) Some time ago, there was an unremarkable Calvin Klein ad featuring Aimee Mann doing Burt Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now (Is Love)". Does anyone know if the song is available anywhere? I'm a sucker for good Bacharach and I've had no luck locating it...

No answers, but a question:

In Lost Boys, the younger non-vampiric brother is in the bath while his older vampiric brother is having a bit of a bloodsucky moment. The kid's singing along to a song on the radio; sounds a bit Jacky Wilson or something. Anyone know it?

I believe that song is "Ain't Got No Home" by Clarence 'Frogman' Henry. Or so the Internet tells me.

And here's an animated gif to help you relive the moment.
