:That IS a great sounding song. It is called 'I've got the world on a string'. It is a classic, I am not sure who sings this particular version.

No, I have Krall's version. It isn't her in the commercial.

The song is 'I've Got The World On A String' by Arlen/Koehler.
I’ve got the world on a string
I’m sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I’m in love
I’ve got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can’t you see - I’m in love
Life’s a wonderful thing
As long as I hold the string
I’d be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let her go
Just a guess, but it sounds like another excellent cover by Pamela Miller, who sang the kickin version of 'I Only Have Eyes For You' in an earlier Mercedes commercial.

The song 'I've got the world on the string' is by Diana Krall, but that isn't her singing the song on the commercial. I am trying to find out who the person is that is singing it. It sounds like Norah Jones. Please let me know if you find out.

: I think it may be Diana Krall's version of the 'I've got the world on a string' song. Frank Sinatra has sung that song and so has a few people. THe only thing is I've never heard Diana Krall's version, and judging by the jazzy nature of the song, the song in the commercial could be hers.

'We appreciate your interest in our commercial. The song in the advertisement
of our 'Strings' commercial is an original arrangement of 'I've Got the World
on a String' by Sound Music, and is sung by Ann M. Hayden. This original
arrangement is exclusive for this advertisement and is not available for sale.'
That sucks!

It's definitely NOT Diana Krall's version of the song

# 26 20 years ago

ok, i don't know if anyone have suggested this yet, but i've spent a lot of time searching for this song and eliminated peggy lee, diana krall, etc, etc, as candidates...the only one left is the very obscure and unknown:
JENNIFER WARE
http://www.theorchard.com/
this is the record company, in the artist album description it says: 'Jazz standards from Gershwin/Porter Berlin with great guitar arrangements and solos by Joe Puma'.
Sounds like it might be, right? but i haven't been able to listen to the song anywhere, and i don't want to risk buying the album by mistake (it's on amazon).
let me know!

I don't think its Diana Kralls. That's not her voice. I heard her version of it and its not the same.

# 28 20 years ago

It seems that unless Mercedes releases it, we will never see it on CD.
While checking around, I listened to Connie Evingson's Some Cats Know cd. It has the song, but I couldn't find a clip of it. But listening to other cuts, I found her voice to be very much like that in the commercial.

When you find out, let me know. I really like the cool acoustic guitar that accompanies the song.
