Why did you do this?  WHY?  Every time I hear that song, it is stuck in my head for about two days.  Once it's out of my head, that commercial with the baby comes on.  This song started eating at my brain a few years ago when Glenn Beck always played it on his show.

Is this woman the original singer of this song?  She sings it well live.  The chorus is way too high pitched for my liking on the commercial.
You may call me Jessica or Jess.

As far as I know, she's the original singer, but I could be wrong.... Lot's of 60's  and 70's songs were covers, bought, or stolen from the Original artist.

copy the youtube LINK, NOT the embed code.  Click on the little youtube icon  up in the BBC icon boxes and insert link in between the youtube code.
