Unfortunately that is not it. This commercial is mostly played on BET and TVone, it's set out of harlem and has a sultry jazz trumpet sound. The one you're thinking of has a swing sound to it.
Thanks!

Hi, Shawna...

I think the tune you are aksing about is called "Get a Move On" by Mr. Scruff.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for...

Hi, Shawna...

I saw the commercial you are talking about, I think... hevy on the piano, lots of African-American influences... is this the same one?

Answer
Hi, Shawna...

Still have not found an exact name on the tune.. I know the Langston Hughes poem that is voiced thru the ad, but the music is still a mystery right now... someone has told me it is called "Hip Hop Renaissance," but I can't confirm that yet...

Let you know when I can...

I`m a pop culture freak who loves TV, old and new... ask me about classic TV, new TV, commercials, jingles, cartoons, Saturday morning shows, you name it. If I don`t know it, I can find it out... Believe it or not, I even know some of the infomercials by heart.. "Set it and forget it!"

Experience

Lots of time reading the TV Guide, and way too many nights of insomnia...
