In 1993 I thought Nike was the coolest company in the world, and this was one of my favorite commercials:
I decided I needed to have a copy of that song, but I didn’t know what it was. Today it would probably take about two minutes to look up the answer online and download it, but 20 years ago this was no easy task. I thought it sounded like The Beatles, so I sent my dad on a quest to figure it out for my birthday.

The 4th track on side two was Instant Karma.
