Darkness commercial

So, i was fortunate enough to watch the Superbowl in the excellent company this evening of my classmates. (Awesome.) A commercial for Samsung featuring the Darkness played, to the delight of Jack and myself. AWESOME.

A word on the Darkness. They're a British glam rock band, akin to Queen kindaokaynotreally. For me, they're sort of a legacy from my ex, albeit one i don't mind having. The album One Way Ticket To Hell And Back was released in 2005, and it was a sound track for the spring of that year. Justin Hawkins is the band's lead man, and has one heck of a vocal range.We'd have the album on repeat while driving around, and it was hilarious when Cass (and i) would try and hit some of the higher notes. The band also has an tendency towards wearing catsuits. Oh, well.

Try this out: An amazing music video, despite the low resolution depicted here, Girlfriend. The song that the commercial was based in is A Thing Called LoveIs It Just Me?, which might be a breakup song. Dinner Lady Arms, which is about a lunch lady. 

Oh, gracious.
