Using the word "groovy" gives us a very good idea of your age, RW. Me, myself and I had to look the word up in the dictionary to find the proper meaning! Enjoying the thread Denice

roger ... yep! thats the one .. it grabs you with the dancing and the music, and i bet its going to help the gap sell lots of khakis! it shows a half circle of what appear to be 20-something men and women, all dressed in gap khakis and tee-shirts. then two or three couples take center stage and start dancing what used to be called "swing" i think ... very energetic, and it is one of a very few commercials (another that comes to mind is an early bud frogs one where the frog gets his tongue stuck on the truck!) that makes me feel happy after seeing it. :) madison avenue, or wherever these things come from nowadays, scored a hit with this one, imo. btw .. "austin powers" was a hoot! mike myers really has a gift. i also liked his underappreciated "so i married an axe murder." check em out on video. :) good luck everyone, jl
