Subject: A song from a commercial that's been bugging me to no end...
Written By: Absolutely Vile on 01/22/05 at 10:05 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.ÂÂ
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?

i e mailed ikea and got this response

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
