This song is what started my interest in The Figgs. This song was the background
music for a Lexus Date Night commercial that aired during the May 2013 NHL Play-
Offs. I wondered if the band was either a New Wave band from the late 1970s that
slipped by me, or some obscure work by Mark Knoffler (vocal resemblance.) Found
out it was neither.
Located a band named The Figgs online. I bought ((PALAIS)). Holy Cow!
