American Express Open Plum card

What is the name of the song playing in the background in this commercial? I live in the US and have been seeing it for a few months now on channels like TNT and USA.

As indicated by the plurality of my title, there are several different versions of this commercial and as far as I can remember, all feature the same tune.

the comments near the bottom say MIA - Paper Plane.
Doesnt sound like it with the voices.

 

[Darlyn]

That is definitely not the song. Paper Plane by MIA sounds completely different.

Song is 'Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO. Sounds like it might be the cover by Lily Allen.

"Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)

Get it at Amazon.

It is a bad knockoff of "Mr Blue Sky" by ELO (Electronic Light Orchestra). American Express has been abusing this song in a number of their ads. The original is a great song.
