in another life i'm a tennis fan and i read john wertheim's mailbag at
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/ every week, so i knew this song had
been mentioned. i just spent way too much time tracking down the third
song.
from the 8/13 mailbag:
-----
Who sings that slightly catchy, slightly annoying song ("All I want to do is
to thank you/Even though I don't know who you are/You let me change
lanes/While I was driving in my car") that accompanies the incessant
Mercedes ads on tennis telecasts?
My pal Chris in Atlanta informs me that it's Geggy Tah. What can I say? You
ask, I answer.
