Here's the commerical:

Starbucks: Double Shot Espresso

It's a cover band that starts off singing a song that starts of as: (i wanna say it's either a KISS song or Eye of the Tiger...dunno)
Glen!
Glen! Glen! Glen!

The band is then following him to work, then in the elevator singing about a promotion......original guy gets out and someone else stops in......the band kicks back off with:

Roy!
Roy! Roy! Roy!

The commercial is funny as hell........

I wanna know if there's a way to capture it on a Tivo and send it to me......Anyone able to help?

Thank you!!!!

EDIT: I've found out that the band is actually Survivor, and a website called AdCritic will let me view the commercial for $100 a year subscription....This is not ideal...lol

    OK, here's a link for y'all to see the commercial......it's a longer cut than what I've seen aired, but somehow I need to find a way to download this thing......

    EDIT: The link doesn't work apparently........they make you create a profile to view it.......

    Somewhere I've seen a site that lists all sorts of commercials and puts them out there to download.......anyone know where that is?

    Thanks Hoosier......I have actually found it, but I'm tryin to find a place that I can download it.

    Also, the version that I've seen online (as well as the one you posted) is a longer version where the song gets played too much......I'm trying to find the broadcast version too.....

    I'm not sure I understand the request. Does it have to be on Tivo or is downloading the commercial in quicktime and burning it to a vcd/dvd an acceptable solution? Saving the quicktime to the desktop doesn't seem to be a problem. Not sure if Nero or another burner program can convert it to mpeg1/2 though.

    Funny commercial btw.

    I don't really care how it gets downloaded, but the version that is on TV is slightly different than the version that is linked above. That's the only reason that I mentioned the Tivo method really, but either version of the commercial would be good stuff to have.

    I want to download it somehow.....(did you download it from somewhere? and how?)

    That commercial CRACKS me up every time I see it........good stuff.....

    Hoosier.......I went to download it on my puter at home tonight and it's been removed from the website that you linked it to. Do you know of another place that it can be downloaded from?
