Mastercard "Get a job"

I've only seen this commercial running in the last two weeks or so. It's the new Mastercard commercial, with a dancey rock/electronic song set in a Monopoly-like world. The actual commercial is about getting an internship through Mastercard. There's also a voice over that says "Get a job" every few seconds.

Anyone have an idea what the song is? Thanks for your help.

Haven't seen it so just a guess but is it This song? possibly covered by a different artist?

The only words in the commercial are "get a job." The song has no other vocals, just a synth riff. I don't believe it's a cover of this song.

Sir Garland is right - it's definitely a cover of 'Get A Job' by THE SILHOUETTES.

It was composed for the ad by MARK MOTHERSBAUGH of Mutato Muzika.

Well I'll be damned, it is a cover. Thanks a lot, sophist!

This ad creeps me out for some reason... the people look so weird.

This should make a good Weblog entry though, thanks for the info!

I couldn't agree more! Freaky!! Looks like the weirdo dude from MADTV Michael McDonald.

I just saw this commercial for the first time. It is creepy. And the "get a job" part sounds so weird the way he says it.
