Use that Capital One card to buy...

I was listening to CBC Radio 1 on my way home from a weekend work thing and found myself enjoying, as usual, the musings of Terry O'Reilly and the Age of Persuasion. Great stuff, I highly recommend it. Anyway, interesting factoid is that the ditty from the Capital One commercials ("Hands in my pocket...") was created specifically for the commercial, but with the commercial's success, was made into an actual full length song by the songwriter, Jim Guthrie. You can listen to it here. I expected it to be more about banks, more about "the man", more funny. It's none of those, but it's still quite catchy.

Kind of ironic though, that the guy's now found a way to get his hands into your pockets...
