"Shorts!"
Commercial: Shorts!Product: Bermuda Shorts
Company: Old Navy
The real song? "Fame"
Very colorful. Everyone's pretty and skinny and smiling. And the song is some easily recognizable one that's been butchered to fit the commercial. It's the now typical Old Navy song (and dance) type stuff with bold colors and over sized emotions and messages. Makes me want to scream "No!" at the point in the song where everyone yells.
And yet, somehow, what would normally be annoying to anyone is just enough fun that you let the annoying aspects slide and like the commercial. Perhaps it's the combination of so much annoying stuff that it passes through ridiculous to amusing? Perhaps it's simply so filled with happy colors and upbeatness without being sappy or "sugar high" that you can't help but be swept along? I don't know why it works, but it does.

Hey, do u know the lyrics to that song?
To which? "Fame" or to the commercial?
The lyrics to "Fame" by Irene Cara can be found here. For the lyrics to the commercial I'd have to see it again so I can write the words down for ya.
Here are (most of) the words from the commercial:
Shorts!
I'm gonna wear them forever,
Even if the weather id mild.
Shorts!
My family's looking so crisp and clever,
(some-thing) from the tropical aisle.
Shorts!
You'll wanna wear them forever.
You should remember their name.
Bermuda,
Bermuda,
Bermuda,
Old Navy,
Bermuda,
Shorts!
