What's that song?

[Nate Wesley]

It's been swirling around in my head for a while now, so I figure I should at least know the title and artist(s) of the song used in the latest Monster.com commercial (the same song used in promos for "The 40-Year Old Virgin" this past summer).

Any help?<P ID="signature">______________

I could be thinking of another ad campaign... but it might be "Do Ya" by Electric Light Orchestra.<P ID="signature">______________

Actually, I beleive that the album is "A New World Record", from 1976. In 1972, "Do Ya" was originally released by "The Move", and Jeff Lynne was the vocalist, on their version, as well. I actually slightly prefer the original version, too...
