I was driving my car today, when the radio station I was tuned in played a familiar music. It was used in a BMW commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nRhSONDfEQ) back in 2005, featuring Kermit the frog. It was supposed to be part of an international campaign, but I can't find an english version of it. I searched the web and didn't find any reference of it.* Can anyone identify the music?

I created this thread thinking of making reusable for similar questions to mine, btw.


*If anyone's curious about what Kermit is saying, it goes something like this:
"Hey, friend, get out of the road!

Damn frogs!"

According to Shazam its Limbo Rock by The Champs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PitNrNJLkm8).

Hope that helps!

Who probably requires a custom built car so that his legs reach the peddles!

Yep, that's definitely "Limbo Rock"!
For almost as long as I can remember, I've associated that song with an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show that I have on VHS. When I look for the episode (The Pirates of Koopa) online, it seems as though newer releases of the episode might have edited it out and put in regular background music instead :(
There are also versions with lyrics.

The most famous, apparently, from Chubby Checker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jkowBtwnHM).
