There’s a country song with the lyrics, “I don’t know what she said but I sure like the way that she said it,” and that’s exactly how I feel about the song in this recent Hotels.com commercial. Check it out…
The Song. The song is called “Lo Boob Oscillator” by Stereolab and if you’re thinking about boobs now, you’re grounded for a week! Stop giggling like a middle school boy and listen to the full track below.
Parlez-vous français? I don’t know why French songs grab my attention when they’re used in commercials but one of the first ads that drew me in was from UK travel group TUI back in 2021. Have you seen this ad featuring a song by Juniore? Gosh, I still love that song. But back to Hotels.com’s use of the Stereolab song, which was released in the mid-1990s. It’s just so darn catchy! For an in-depth dive into the song, there’s a great post by dlee you can read here.
The Hotel. If you’re ever in Girona, Spain, you can book a room at Palau Fugit, the very hotel used in this commercial. Will that make you a great artist like the daughter in the ad, probably not. OK, definitely not. But at least you’ll get a good night’s sleep, right? Isn’t that mostly what hotels are for?
If you like the ad, leave a comment below and if you don’t like it, leave a comment below. I post every day at 1pm central so I’ll see you again tomorrow…

Lyrics in French please because I would like to read them. I grew up speaking the language but am no longer fluent. Merci

What does it mean?
Google Lyrics and title and you’ll get a simple translation of the words. Choose Genius.com/ lyrics for both languages.
The three word title itself? The orb moves back and forth, with the pun on boob.
The meaning behind the words? Ah, that gets deeper. The moon? The concept of Woman? God in a communion wafer? Faithful in its eternal nature? All to be looked up to, all beautiful, all unreachable? All unable to be pinned down and categorized?
I would be a liar if I said I knew.
But the moon is free.
(And then you can get into parsing that word in light of recent explorations or the rules of astrophysics.)
Damn fine song.

Ridiculous. I live in an English country yet they show the ad in French. I will not support that company just like I will never support AB/IB for their ridiculous bud light transvestite support.
