What are those great songs?

The songs in some TV spots just make you wanna tap your feet.

Go ahead; try to resist.

I dare you.

Miriam Makeba performs "Pata, Pata" in the Honda Accord Crosstour "Boxes" spot.

Michelle Branch performs "Everywhere" in this Chase Bank spot.

Shiny Toy Guns performs "Major Tom" in the Lincoln MKZ spot.

Roll with it.

I hope Jack Bauer appreciates this input.


Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

No, Jack-o, it takes place between 11 p.m. and midnight.

Thank you, Harmon Morgan, for the many valuable lessons you provided in newswriting and editing.

"Twitter is over capacity. Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again."


Be careful what you ask for, Twitter.

It appears you're a victim of your own success.

Or poor infrastructure planning.

Or gremlins.

At the price I'm paying to tweet, I want uptime, dang it!
