My 1st guest was the Waitresses but I couldn't find any mention of it on their website. 2nd guess was Martha and the Muffins but no mention on their website either.

Hanging on the Telephone was originally by The Nerves 1976. Blondie also recorded by Blondie in 1978.
The current cover version is sung by Cat Power. Chan Marshall of C.P re-recorded just for the commercial.
