What's the song that's playing in this CR-Z commercial:

CR-Z sport hybrid commercial - Eclipse

There's tons of guesses in the discussion but they're all wrong.

The song is definitely a cover of the song: "Night & Day" by Cole Porter.

The band singing this version used in the commercial sounds like Muse.

So i'm going to guess:

Muse - "Night & Day" (Cole Porter Cover) until official word is released.

Thanks farbeyond.

If it is muse, it's not available anywhere.

It is "Night and Day" but it is U2.

It is "Night and Day" but it is U2.

U2's only official release of this song sounds nothing like the one in the commercial. If it is U2 it is a remix of their original cover version.

"Night and Day" by Fyfe Dangerfield of the band Guillemots. 95% certain.

Well since this allready looks like you tube on here...
I am not sure is this is true, but while doing researching about this on the net. I found another posted video of this commercial and was reading some of the posts.
one of them from sisterwhoareyou said....
"My theory: I believe that Paul Durham of Black Lab is the vocalist on the song. Alex Kemp did a remix for Black Lab a while back so there is a connection there. Been a Paul fan for 13+ years and if it's not him someone sounds IDENTICAL to him."

Same person then posted....

"Got confirmation from Paul Durham that it is his side project, Stray Palace, that is performing the song - mystery solved"

"RRRAAAAGGGGEEE ahahaha I emailed alex kemp and he said, "Hi
I don't think it will ever be recorded as a full length version, but you should look up the work of some the songwriters/performers involved: stray palace, black lab, and my own stuff, which you can hear at alexkemp.com!
thanks
:[ I think it'd be a really good song as a full version..."

I have no idea if there is any merit at all to any of the posts claims or if they are valid.

It is Paul Durham of the band Black Lab. He's done other tv and movie soundtrack work.
