About The Heartbeat....

Reader M:

Saw your post about the "heartbeat" in the new Obama ad -- actually, the song that's used is by the band The Weepies, and it's the first track of their new album called "Hideaway."  The song itself is called "Can't go back Now" and has been used as the music in a few other Obama ads -- the backbeat is included in the song as it appears on the album, I don't think they were intentionally doing anything sneaky (though personally, I've always liked the song, and wouldn't mind the beat being one more reason for people not to vote for McCain).
