Does anyone else find that “sweater song” from last season’s Old Navy
commercials incredibly catchy? I hate to so blatantly fall for the Old Navy
empire’s advertising ways…but I have. I’m totally easy when it comes to loving
Ingrid Michaelson. Especially “The Way I Am” (aka the sweater song).
I know, I
know, I’m becoming an independent artist-meets-branding whore. First Yael
Naim, now the lovely bespectacled Ingrid. But at least I’m not
the only one, right?
Though I must say, the “Rogaine” line from the sweater song comes as a bit of shock.
They didn’t keep that one in yee ol’ commercial. Also, I kind
of love Ingrid for her cute hipster, Forever 21-owning self, and for appearing much more
real here than in the video:
