What is the song on that Nissan (Altima or Sentra ?) commercial? I've heard it three or four dozen times on the radio in the last twelve years and I have no idea what it is called. It is from 1988 or 1989, and has mostly synths (an endless two-chord loop), only a little bass on the backend. It had some sort of stream-of-consciousness lyrics, taking place in a coffee shop I think. It had no real beginning or ending. It appears at the start and end of the commercial. There is some rock song in the middle of the ad, but I don't care what that one is called. The commercial airs mostly during sports programming and network prime time, at least where I am. I feel like a fool for not knowing what it is called or who did it. Take this into account: I thought (until 1994) that the Van Halen song 'Panama' was called 'Anima'.

Just kidding...I knew a girl who thought the band "Yes" said: Owner of a broken horse.

Then I worked with a guy who thought that song:"I'm not an addict" was actually..."I'm automatic"............(He was fired)

Are you talking about "du, du, du, du. du, da, du, du?" "Tom's Diner" by DNA featuring Suzanne Vega (My name is Luca) which was an early 90's hit.

Yes, that is the one. I guess I was off by a year or two. Thank you for ending my misery.

Actually it was written by Suzanne Vega and was recorded origially a capella, then was redone with DNA
