Question
2008 Olympic commercial for Nissan Maxima has an old rock song about "the band" What is it?
I don't pay a lot of attention to the kids sporting stuff, and I tend to mute commercials when I watch TV , so I haven't heard it.
But, if you can get some more of the words, even just bits and pieces of them, and/or describe some of the music... ( are there guitars, organs? tamborine>? are their drums?).
There are a number of possibilities, for example the Who "Join Together" or there is a song by Dan Fogelberg called "leader of the Band".
It might not take much more info for me to recognize it, so anything no matter how seemingly trivial may help.
Also, is it blues oriented, kind of jazzy, or pop? That also may help.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
