Been a Long Time, Revisited
Ever since I wrote this entry about the car commercials the other day, I've been getting hits from Google and Yahoo! for "song from the cadillac commercial" and the like. (I've also been getting hits for "wife swapping," from that same entry. Heh.)
I hope Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin is the song people are looking for. Not some other Cadillac commercial song that I don't have any information about (I really don't watch much TV).
What always surprises me is how quickly the search engines are updated these days. In the last month there have been probably two or three times where I've posted something to my weblog in the morning, and by the afternoon I've had a hit from Google that obviously came from that day's post. I wonder what's going on there. Maybe Google is hooked into the weblog update pages and just automatically goes to them whenever they're updated.
Anyway, if you're looking for that song, Rock and Roll, it's on Led Zeppelin IV, arguably their very best album. You really can't go wrong with this one. Besides the obvious (Stairway to Heaven), you get some of the best songs LZ ever did: Misty Mountain Hop, Going to California, Black Dog...
But I still think it's funny that Rock and Roll is in a Cadillac commercial. And now whenever I hear it, I can't help but sing my own lyrics in my head:

- It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
I'm drivin' this car 'cause I'm gettin' old...
