It's called 'I've Got the World on a String' sung by Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall, and probably others. Now, who sings it in the commercial?

The one in Mercedez Benz commercial, it is indeed the song 'I've got the world on a string', however it isnt sang by Diana Krall, cuz i would recognize Diana Krall's voice, her voice would be smookier and deeper in a blues kinda way. I do like the version in Mercedez Benz though, but you should listen to Diana krall and Toni Bennet version also....enjoy

> 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.

Indeed, I am also looking to find out who it is, it does sound like it could be Norah Jones, but it's not on her first album...has anyone heard anything more about this?

The song's title is 'I've Got the World on a String'. As for the singer, well, I can't help you there. Nobody seems to know...

Hey all,
I, too, have spent many an hour searching for the name behind the lovely voice on the Mercedes-Benz Summer Event commercials. It isn't Diana Krall, or Norah Jones....the song was written originally in the 20's/30's by Harold Arlen and T. Koehler. It was remade by the likes of Krall, Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Peggy Lee, and Sinatra among others.
I've done Google searches, i've searched on kazaa, I e-mailed the webmaster at the mercedes site (webmaster@criticalmass.com), and i've even gone to the source (html) code on mbusa.com on the off chance that the song and the songstress would be named ....no such luck.
I don't know what else to do....if anyone out there has any ideas or finds the answer, please let me know at muzzy750@hotmail.com. thanks!

That version is by a chick named Ann Hayden. I E-Mailed Mercedes and asked them. According to the person who responded to my E-Mail it hasn't been released and they don't plan on releasing it for sale.

I just saw it for the first time today and have to know who this is. This is the only hit I got from my Google search. We will all know soon, I'll bet.

> I thought it was Nora Jones at first, but it's not on her CD, nor does it show up when I search for it on Kazaa/Google. It sounds like her, and she might have just recorded it for the commcial. In that case, it's not avable for distribution. I hope someone can find out who sings it soon!
