Considering how many times Jack's used the words "ice cream" in his songs, that's actually very appropriate.


Also reminded me how much I love the heck out of that song.

I love High Ball Stepper
Gave me goosebumps when I would hear the intro to it at his live shows!
Plus the LE 45 is cool as hell :-)
Best instrumental riff, cool song !

You know how songs "chart"? Well, apparently Jack's song helped this ad to "chart"-- http://www.thedrum.com/news/2016/05/04/ ... ll-stepper

Pretty nice that people take the time to find out what song is playing in the ad. Cool to know that people like the song.

I wish all ads had a caption that said what song is playing (as some do). In the past I've had to resort to Google and to emailing the companies, often without success.
