It's the Pogues "Sunny Side of the Street" and either I was listening with subversive ears or the commercial included the verse "so I saw that train and I got on it with a heart full of hate and a lust for vomit..."

Supermarkets, elevators and commercials are accidental and involuntary.

When I heard Any Way You Want It in a Ford commercial, the notion hit me that I might one day grow old... :P :wink:
