I would have figured somebody else would have mentioned this -- if I missed it, sorry! Anyway, it was way cool to hear "Got to Be Free" from "Lola vs the Powerman etc." on a rather bizarre Toyota commercial today. Time was we would be in an uproar over the "selling out" of such an event (remember Nike and "Revolution"?) but these days it's a major way of getting obscure music out there (see Nick Drake and Volkswagen). Neat that they used this song and not "You Really Got Me" ya know?

Yes it does. This commercial plays allot and it sounds great.

In fact I think they're using the song for an entire campaign -- I saw a different Toyota commercial that still used the song. Nice exposure for the Kinks! (and a great song that deserved to be heard more often).
