Anybody know that song from the gieco commercial?

The one when the cave man is in the airport and sees the geico ad and gets mad? I want to hear the whole song, it sounds like something you can just mellow out with. Anyone know the name of the song and the artist?

Royskopp- Remind Me, I might be wrong about the spelling, but that's band and song title, and I think they're out of Europe.

This is funny. I did the same thing a month ago and sought out the band. It is Royksopp, and I've since picked up 3 of their albums. (How do we get our band on a Geico commercial? )

That song is from Melody AM, and is pretty groovy throughout. I also picked up their newer one The Understanding. It's a little darker. There's also a live one that's pretty cool, too.

That really is an outstanding tune. I could not believe I found myself turning UP the sound on a TV commercial But the melody and timing are very pleasant, not to mention the singer's soothing voice. Geico must have hired a really good PR firm to produce those ads I think.

So, did you guys here that ABC has picked up rights to make a sitcom out of these commercials? Hopefully they use the same actors that are in the current commercials :-)
