Gap – Mellow Yellow
In 1999, this commercial exposed me to the song “Mellow Yellow” for the first time, leading me to later get it on Napster and make it a staple of my unique music library. In the commercial the song is sung by a group of young adults — among which were then-unknowns Alex Greenwald, Rashida Jones and Jason Thompson — in Gap’s “Everybody in Cords” commercial directed by Pedro Romhanyi. The music mix was done by the Dust Brothers.
