Didn't know the song, but I'd know the voice (almost) anywhere. well, as it has been pointed outbefore, mary lou first recorded the song on her s/t Kill Rock Stars mini album some five years ago. however, that's not the version that is in the commercial. the re- recorded tune will be out on a rubric records CD-single (featuring two unreleased bevis frond songs on the b-side) this month! as for the orginial writer: while daniel johnston SONGS are always recommended (nina persson of cardigans fame recently recorded the equally lovely "walking the cow" for her a camp soloproject), his own homemade recordings are sometimes a bit of a pain to listen to, i think.. his own recording of "speeding motorcycle" for example only features his funny voice, accordion and foot-stomping. however, apart from mary lou some other artists have covered the tune, including yo la tengo and the always endearing pastels from scotland. okay, so that's my little rant for today. for mary lou's own comments on the song and daniel, please visit: http://www.maryloulord.yi.org/interview.html smiles, carsten - -- http://carstenwohlfeld.de "laboring over something for some abstract notion of 'perfection', who has time for that?"

There is a recording of Yo La Tengo performing it on WFMU with Daniel Johnston singing via telephone. "The story goes: Daniel, who was living in West Virginia, would call up Nick Hill's show on WFMU, which broadcasts from East Orange, NJ, and talk and sing. YLT played live on the air one night, and Daniel "sat in". But the thing is, there's no way he could have possibly heard the band - how the hell did he do it?

That is, he started singing and they joined in. He could have listened to them on the radio and sung along, but in addition to risking feedback this also would have produced a slight delay.
