If you see the commercial again, if its the one with the models working in the coal mine, you can enter a line of the lyrics in Google and see if anything comes up. I'm also wondering the same thing.

Alright, just googled the lyrics. It's called "Sixteen Tons."

The song is "Sixteen Tons" by Ernie Ford.
I have no comment on this song being used by a coal company to argue for the use of coal.
