    It is played on the current K-Swiss advert, with them dancing all over the place.

    The song was originally in Battle Creek Brawl, starring Jackie Chan, the credits on the film do not include soundtrack , I have tried Shazzam (2580 on your mobile), and it is not in their archive either.

    I found the advert on Youtube ......

    YouTube - K-Swiss "Flux" Hacky Sack Commercial

    does that help ?

    You might like to try a site called "Answerbank" which has a section on TV advert questions.

    Has it got any words? Never heard the advert you see. If you enter the words you know in " " in Google then you more often than not get the full version with all the details.

    However, I have just watched the video and that is not, in my opinion, The Letter by The Box Tops or Joe Cocker. I know it well, have both versions and rolled a car over three times listening to it by the former group in 1967.

    Have done a bit of googling.
    This is what I found: Is it what you are looking for Nathan?

    ""K-Swiss Advert, The music is by a group called Tha 4orce - Pretty damm sure it's called (Biting on the hook)""
