No matter what you say, the opening of this song will always remind me of the Cialis advertisement.
Anyone else get that when they listen?

P.S. Google challenge: can anyone sift through all the Cialis b.s. on the web to find out what song is actually used in that advert?

You are very right. It sounds almost exactly the same.
"If you experience a Grandpaboy song for longer than 5 minutes, see a record store clerk immediately."
As for what the song is on the Cialis ad, so far the closest I've come is the ad agency: Grey Worldwide. That led to this news item, but I don't think it's the answer because it's from this year and the Cialis ad debuted during the 2004 Super Bowl.
Fast Talk: Adman Jangles for a Hit Jingle

Josh Rabinowitz
SVP, Director of Music, Grey Worldwide
Brooklyn, New York
Josh Rabinowitz, 43, wants to turn music created for an ad into a hit song. A former record producer, composer, trombonist, and band leader, he works with clients such as Diageo (NYSE:DEO) and P&G (NYSE:PG) on finding the right music for their TV spots.
"There is no science to developing music for ads. I see myself as the same as a record exec. Brands want something to call attention to them. So I listen to music all day. Sometimes I can't believe how many CDs I have to listen to. Artists will even come and give us private showcases. They come with a lunch and a sound system, and we have a concert in our office. Why? In advertising, they're spending tens of millions of dollars on media buys. The major record labels don't have that kind of money. And artists understand that. TV ads give you the kind of heavy rotation that you can't get on MTV anymore. In the very near future, some of the best bands will produce jingles. I went to the Jazz Festival in New Orleans and met one of the guys from Little Feat. The first thing he said to me was, 'I got a great song for [erectile-dysfunction drug] Cialis.' Nothing is off limits."
What's odd is that the phrase "name of song in cialis commercial" gets about 500 hits but they're all embedded in spam nonsense babble.

Nothing is worse than the "Viva Viagra" song commercial. That's so wrong.

I want to know who found it necessary to come up with the name "Priapism" in those cialis adds.
Hey Jim... could you come up with some kind of scientific name for a 4-hour boner?
