Ruby Tuesday "The Great Race" Ruby Minis

Does anyone know the song that is playing in the background of this Ruby Tuesday commercial?

I have had a hard time finding out who does this song, almost to the point I wonder if it is an actual full song that you can buy and not just made for the commercial.

Try asking:

(The video you linked won't play for me.)

You could also try contacting the ad agency that created the Ruby Tuesday commercial:

A reminder to everyone that you need Quicktime to view this. If no one knows the song, a clue via a band or year of the song's release would be helpful.

Please help

The song's lyrics have a woman singer saying something like "I want to have fun and get to die" or "I want to have fun and hit the side" or something else. It is a sort of rock song with a fast pace. Once again, any vague clue or lead would be helpful. One other message board had a guy send an email to Ruby Tuesday and getting no response. The posters mentioned the Guano Apes and the Sounds, and I know it is not the Sounds and is highly unlikely to be the Guano Apes.

What is the url to the other forum's thread about the Ruby Tuesday commercial?

It started in April 2006, about a month after the commercial first aired I think. I believe I first saw it during March Madness of that year on ESPN and/or CBS. It was done by Stu Maschwitz, whose website is called PROLOST.

Attention everyone:

Stu Maschwitz, the creator of the commercial, just wrote to me on his website notifying me that the song was created specifically for the commercial. Sorry if I sent anyone on a wild goose chase.
