So I was going through funny commercial and I came across an old Orkin commercial. It was kind of creepy but funny. However, it left me with a thought. Was that a real song?

Spent 10 minutes googling to no avail
You could try emailing the ad company The Richards Group (per http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Orkin) or Orkin themselves to see if anyone knows

Another avenue would be to try those song detector apps but I doubt those would work here

Finding old forums discussing this ad is a trip
Came across rodent pet owners who would call Orkin to voice their disapproval for Orkin's portrayal of rats in their ads
What a world

I'm not sure if this is correct but I went through the Youtube comments and someone said it was this song...


At about 2:20 or so it sounds like it might be it but it's really hard to tell since the full band is playing rather than just the isolated guitar riffs from the commercial.

If it is true though, them playing RATT is pretty damn clever...
