I was recently listening to the Howard Stern Show, and coming in from
a commercial break they began playing a song that sounded like British
synth.  The song got talked over a little and then turned off right as
the vocals were kicking in.  I was recording the show to MP3, so I was
able to splice out the exact 15 seconds that the song played.  I've
placed that file on a webserver here:
http://www.student.seas.gwu.edu/~adamz123/nameThisSong.mp3.  It's
really only instrumentals, and one word of lyrics, but the tune is
definitely unique.  Please respond with an artist and title of the
song.  Much appreciated.

Yay! Going by your comment below, this is indeed the song you want.
Would you like for me to gather a bit more info and post it as your

No need to gather more info (unless you're required to do so), that's
all I needed.  Thanks a ton!

I'm glad the matter is now solved! When I listened to your MP3, that
music sounded darned familiar to me. It is, as we now know, "Jerk It
Out," as performed by the Swedish band Caesar's Palace, also known as
The Caesars.

The same song is featured in Apple's catchy "iPod shuffle" ad:

Background on "Jerk It Out," and a music video:

XFM: Caesars ?Jerk It Out?

The song appears on The Caesars' CD "39 Minutes of Bliss":

Last year "Jerk It Out" got a lot of TV play in promos for the
Westminster Dog Show on the USA Network. Wow, this song really gets
around.

Best regards,

Pink - you're a musical genius!

That's it!  Thanks a bunch!  You *are* a musical genius.  If I may
ask, how did you know?  Had you heard it before?

This song is used by Apple for their ads for the new iPod Shuffle.
