Stephin Merritt Hearts Puppies!
Ok, as Jen was saying, shit has gotten outta hand.
Today I spent about an hour watching TV and saw the new Cesar dog food commercial twice!
Ok, that's not so shocking but what is surprising is that the song they use in the commercial is a Magnetic Fields song! "I Think I Need A New Heart" is the odd choice for Cesar's new food line.
I'm not going to lie, I was totally stoked to hear the song and after seeing the commercial, quickly ran to my iPod to give i another listen (so fantastic!)
Keep an eye out for the 15 second clip as it seems to be getting heavy rotation (at least during The Ellen Show)!
Here's perhaps an even more appopriate Dog-related MF song from 69 Love Songs, Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long (yousendit)
Labels: commercial, the magnetic fields

The scene: Gaul, 48BC.
"Centurion"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Dog"
"I'm thinking of changing the name... Mr. Dog isn't quite authoritative enough"
"Oh, Mr. Dog?"
"Yes. Mr. Dog sounds too much like food for small yap-type dogs. From now on I shall be known as Cesar"
Sorry. To get this, you have to know that in the UK, Cesar used to be known as Mr. Dog. And you need to know the work of a certain Mr. E. Izzard...
