Yet Another Case Of Me Being Topical

In recent days, songs from the band Canned Heat have been heard in TV commercials, and in odd ways too. Total cereal used On The Road Again (no, it's not the Willie Nelson song) in a "groovy" ad.

Before that, though, the NFL Shop website had a commercial out which used another song from the band. It's their take on the Wilbert Harrison song Let's Work Together. It's one of their most famous songs. I first heard it on a compliation CD box set of more obscure 70's tunes. I'm sure that most people know On The Road Again or Going Up The Country, another tune that has been used in ads before. But, they had other good tunes. For example, they performed at Woodstock and had their music in the movie of the same name. I just never expected this tune to be used to shill NFL merchandise, you know.
