songs in commercials

Guest

Ok
I heard this commerical before I saw it.

Lets see who can guess the song.

The commerical for the video game "gears of War"

The title anyway because it is not the orginal version of the song.

Oh, what the heck, guess the orginal artist.

Just turn the Tv on, any normal channel I believe. Like nbc, cbs, fox and such.

I must have heard this thing 5 times in the last three days-lol

It's the music that catches me, cause I know the song but the beat is slower.

Check out the sports channels, it seems to play during breaks for football.
No I am not an avid fan, the guys are watching football while I game or watch a movie and surf-lol
HMM, Have to check out trailer for game.

If it is the same as on tv, the song is there-lol
Too bad i do not have sound at work.

Will check out that trailer thing and post it , if it contains the song.

Ok honeeee--that sounds like a plan Smile

...I'm curious to see/hear what you mean now. It's just that I'm not really watching TV these days and when I game, my focus narrows to a pinpoint LOL. So if it comes on in the background, chances are slim that I'd notice.~~Maia

Ok here is another hint
the first few lines of the song.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Now THAT sounds familiar--can't put my finger on it, but I know I've heard it before.~~Maia

ok here it is. This is the song by the orginal artist.

TEARS FOR FEARS
"Mad World"

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Yea you know, I saw that commercial the other day and had a bit of a giggle. I thought of you immediately Sandy!! For that kind of action, it seemed like an interesting contradiction ROFLMAO~~Maia
