134. Sinnerman !

10 years ago, IBM used a different 30-second bit of that song across three television commercials. AFAIK, they aired only in Singapore. I don't remember what they were selling - servers, I think. I Didn't know of Nina Simone before that. Found out only after I searched for "Sinnerman" on WinMX and downloaded it. That's one long tune. IBM could have gotten another dozen commercials out of it.
