Another song from the 70's whose opening measures have appeared in a recent TV commercial. At the risk of sounding like my father, I think this current Madison Avenue trend of reaching back to the 70's for background music to commercials speaks something about the state of current music.
1976
Still rockin' thirty years later.

From the You Tube notes: Randy Bachman and C.F. "Fred" Turner were the core members of Bachman-Turner Overdrive throughout their commercial heyday in the 70s. Between them they also composed the vast majority of the band's many hit singles. Reuniting at the end of 2009 they released an eponymous album in 2010 and in November of that year they performed at the famous Roseland Ballroom in New York City as part of their North American tour. This video was filmed at the show.
BTO followed a path blazed by Neil Young of Canadians breaking into the US music scene.
