The only appointment TV for me is Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Sorry, Game of Thrones bores me. Thus, watching tonight's episode of Breaking Bad, I had to yell out "Hell yeah" when I hear Odetta's "Hot or Miss" used in an ad for Southern Comfort booze. You see an oily, fat guy in a Speedo walking down the beach to the classic tune from the departed soul songstress. Prepare to get funky.

Awesome commercial. Any idea if that version of the song is available to download/buy anywhere? I've only seen the live version of Hit or Miss (iTunes and Amazon)not the version in the commercial.

Any one have any luck yet finding this on an iTune format?

Well, you could buy the above CD for $8.99 + free shipping (you have to request an email coupon right on the CD's webpage for an EXTRA 10$ off AND FREE SHIPPING) AND then rip it to compatible digital format:
moviemars.com
-or-
download it via torrent on the site referenced in above post and then convert it to a compatible format (MANY tools available for that).
good luck

How do I save it to my iTunes music library??

From what I am reading, this movie is hedniag downhill fast. I am not a casting director by all means, but the fact that Javier is even being considered for the role of Roland is heartbreaking. The only actor that comes to mind when reading the books, is Clint, yet sadly, he is too old to play the part. I don't even think Viggo is right. At this point, it should be an unknown. I say this, because I read another comment elsewhere stating that it should be an unknown rather than a known actor as homage should be played to the story not the actor. Been thinking about who should play Detta/Odetta, and I think Taraji Henson could pull it off. She has the potential. Definitely not a caucasian.
