Another ad song (the Fascinate)...

It seems just about every TV show I watch lately has either the Macy's "Magic" commercial (which I posted the info on last week), the Samsung / Verizon Fascinate commercial, or both. They're all over the place. And that's okay, because I can't get enough of the songs they feature.

The Fascinate commercial song is The Human League's (Keep Feeling) Fascination. But not the original version and not a version that seems to be available now.

The closest I've been able to find to the version used in the commercial is the 2004 White Label Remix heard here...


While it's similar to what's in the commercial, it's definitely not the same version. Maybe the commercial music came from an additional remix of this White Label Remix. Or maybe there's a new remix out there and it just hasn't been released yet. The group or the advertiser probably never saw this remix as becoming so popular, but it has become one of the bigger searches online right now.

As for the group, The Human League has never had an official website. But as of this past summer, a page has gone up that looks like it might become an official website for them. And the group is still together and working on a project. I wonder if that project involves this remake?

If I hear of anything about this (including a release for this new version of Fascination), I'll post it here.
