I know you’re all wondering, “Who sings that catchy song now featured in the Old Navy commercial?”
Fortunately, indie music artist Ingrid Michaelson began making the talk show circuit after several of her songs received air time on girlie show, Grey’s Anatomy. She was on Carson Daly recently and the cute little song from the sweater commercial is called, “The Way that I am.”
UPDATE: THE ATTACHED VIDEO IS THE OFFICIAL VIDEO TO THE SONG, ADDED DEC. 30, 2007.
By the way, girls who wear glasses like Ingrid’s…yeah…I like the smart, librarian look.
Enjoy the song.
Lyrics
If you were falling, then I would catch you.
you need a light, I’d find a match.
Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.
Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.
I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
-end-
Ironically enough I was wondering and so thank you for that public service.
I think it’s more coincidence than irony since irony has to do with opposite outcomes or is sardonic in nature. But it’s early and I may be way off on my interpretation of irony – as was Alanis Morissette in her lyric writing.
Oh, I love that!
Confession: though I’m not usually affected by commercials (or I like to think not), I actually went to Old Navy and bought some sweaters as a direct result of that great ad! (Okay, and I had a gift card. But I went in looking specifically for the Fair Isle sweaters!)
