Subject: A song from a commercial that's been bugging me to no end...

Written By: Absolutely Vile on 01/22/05 at 9:05 am

There's a song that I keep hearing in an Ikea commercial, and I have no idea what it is. I believe it's by Simon & Garfunkel (or it sounds like it anyway), and some of the words are:

Hey hey, let's all go to Walla Walla, Washington
Let's all go to Walla Walla, Washington


What is this song?!?!

Do a google search of the following:   let's all go to Walla Walla ikea

You should pull up the following:

Calgary Forums :: IKEA Dislikes Customers - Caution!!... Bay Home Sense, Zellers,Winners, all the dollar stores,JYSK, and similar- many having prices better than IKEA to boot. Let's all go to Walla-Walla Washington ...
www.calgaryforums.com/about3172.html - 101k - Cached - Similar pages

It goes to this link:

Which requires a regristration that I don't really want to partake in. 

Good luck!

The reason I came upon this thread is that I was having the same problem. I love Simon and Garfunkel, and it sounds like their brand of music (folky), and I wanted to know what song it was too. I've searched for quite a while, but I haven't had any luck. If I do, I'll be sure to tell you. No one should go through what we're going through. It's so frustrating! It may be a S&G song, because I haven't heard all of their songs so I can't eliminate the possibility, but someone recorded it so someone must know about it. If all else fails, does Ikea have an email address?

Hello,

Thank you for your email.  The song used in the IKEA commercial is
an original composition.  The song does not have a title and it
has never been released.

Best Regards,
IKEA Website Customer Service

unreleased?
I have my doubts.  Does ikea just come up and say "we want a song about a small WA state town called walla walla washington?"
I think that that ikea employee simply didn't know and just wanted to get back to emails they COULD actually answer
