Ameriquest

Okay, this time I DID search the archives, but... Ameriquest loan company (??) has used "RESPECT" and "I Feel Good" in the past. Now they have a song that sounds like John Lennon. The only part they play goes "Hold on tight to your dreams." I would love to know if it is him, and what song. Thanks.

I haven't seen the commercial, but it's probably "Hold On Tight" by Electric Light Orchestra.

Jeff Lynne (singer, writer, producer of the group) was a huge Beatles fan, and a good friend of George Harrison. So their stuff tends to sound Beatle-y. Jeff even sings a bit like Lennon on this tune.

There is a clip for it here:

ELO also had a song, "Mr. Blue Sky", in that cool VW commerical a few years ago.
