The commercial can be seen here (http://www.lincoln.com/extras/tvads.asp?id=7&intcmp=B_FreeSongDownload_MKZHome_LincolnTVAds_200 90408). It is the 2010 MKZ commercial called "Luxury at Lightspeed". It opens in a new window and you can download the MP3 of the full song from the new window. I spent about ten minutes trying to find it on Limewire and all they had was garbage, so when I figured out that the 'Download' button on the commercial's window was for the whole song, and not just the video+song clip, I was thrilled.

The song is by a band I've never heard of called "Shiny Toy Guns", but it's a pretty sweet cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)", originally by Peter Schilling. I already have the original version, but I thought the cover was pretty nice. The singer and her backup have really good voices, IMO. Oh, and commercial is pretty sweet.

I liked it too the first time I saw it. That is a remake song though. The original is much better.

Peter Schilling's song is a different take on the same situation. We see more of Major Tom's point of view in "Major Tom". He has something of an epiphany while looking at the Earth from space.
