ysobelleDid I ever mention that one of my geeks is advertising? I once spent MONTHS tracking down who wrote the music for a Nike spot for the last Winter Olympics. It's in my blood: Dad owned an ad agency for most of my life; now he runs it with my sister.
Anyway, this ad'd been bothering me a while. I didn't know who was in it, or if any of these people were actually singers. What can I say? I'm an 'XPN kinda girl.

"Ain't We Got Love!" Super Bowl Commercial
This is for all of you who enjoyed the Chevrolet commercial on the Super Bowl entitled "Ain't we Got Love!" We had blogged back on February 5 about the Corvettes in the video, but you wanted to know more!
The fine folks at Campbell-Ewald (producers of the commercial) have been kind enough to give Corvette Blog readers the behind the scenes look at the commercial's participants.
Understand first of all that sometimes we think we know what we're seeing but sometimes it's something else. I really thought some of the posers were celebrities. Regardless, the official list of participants, vehicles they are seen with, songs, authors, and lyrics are as follows:
Mary J. Blige with a Black Tahoe LTZ (“Chevrolet” / Foghat): "Buy you a Chevrolet, buy you a Chevrolet, gonna buy you a Chevrolet, if you give me some of your love."
Male collector with a vintage black SS (“Crocodile Rock” / Elton John): "Holdin’ hands and skimmin’ stones. Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own."
Johnny O’Connell with Yellow Corvette LeMans race vehicle (“Goin’ Back to Cali” / LL Cool J): "Top is down on the black corvette and it’s fly cuz it’s sitting on Daytons."
Big 'N Rich with a blue Silverado (“Save A Horse” / Big & Rich): "And I wouldn’t trade ol’ Leroy or my Chevrolet for your freak parade."
T.I. with a black Impala (“Top Back” / T.I.): "I like my beat down low and my top let back. Can see me ridin’ 24’s on my Impala wet black."
Female customizer with a red HHR (“409” / The Beach Boys): "Giddy up, giddy up, 409."
Male surfer with an orange HHR (“Brand New Chevy” / The Devil Dogs) "Nobody can shut that Chevy down, ‘cuz that brand new Chevy is mine."
Female tuner walking between several Cobalts (“E.I.” / Nelly): "I drive fast call me Jeff Gordon in a black SS wit' navigation."
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. with a red Corvette convertible (“The Jet Set” / George Jones & Tammy Wynette): "No we’re not the jet set. We’re the old Chevrolet set, but ain’t we got love."
