    Looking for the name of a samba song used in a car ad.

    Ok, I'm not expecting much here, but this song has been around since the late 90's. It's a light, airy samba tune with a woman's vocals in the foreground (no words). I wish I had a better vocabulary to describe it, but the beat is modern, like electronica and I still hear it used as background music at stores and stuff. Any help?

    Do you remember what kind of car it was used to advertise?

    Sorry. Nissan Maxima maybe. The only other clue I have is that it's on a Pottery Barn CD collection (the lameness is deafening, I know). I have 62 candidate albums I need to go through on Amazon, so I know I can find it, but I thought I'd check here first.

    Except... what part of Bebel Gilberto's rendition has vocals without words?

    I'm going with Tom's Diner.

    You ever hear the dozens of remixes of that one? I love the "I Dream Of Jeannie" one.

    This thread actually inspired me to look for that one online--I remember it from Nick at Nite a decade or so ago!

    (Haven't found it yet, though.)
