    I've Got The World On a String

    Who sings the new version of that old chestnut in the currently running Mercedes commercial? Sounds like Norah Jones...is it???? It's a totally fresh interp of a standard.

    Just curious.

    God bless that child who Googles....

    The song in the advertisement
    : of our "Strings" commercial is an original arrangement of "I've Got the World
    : on a String" by Sound Music, and is sung by Ann M. Hayden. This original
    : arrangement is exclusive for this advertisement and is not available for sale."

    (although someone else maintains it's by an Erin O'Hara) .

    further Googleing reveals:

    The Erin O'Hara Website:

    "If you watch TV or listen to the radio, check out the current Mercedes Benz campaign. I'm singing..."I've got the world on a string..." My gifted friend Danny Weinkauf of 'They Might Be Giants' produced the spot with Sound Music Productions. Go Danny.


    Huge thanks to all of the SEX AND THE CITY fans who have responded to my music. I will be releasing a single of the song very soon. Stay tuned. "


    OK, so it's now down to two possibilities...wait ---maybe it's really Lorraine Johnson, back from an extended "fish supper". :lol: :lol: :lol:
