'Paint It Black' song in TV ad recently, Who does it?

[chknltl]

It's just a snippet of the song, been on TV in an ad for perhaps a week or less. Singer is female, song is done in a very 'Goth' style. I don't think it's from the Inkubus Sukkubus version found on you-tube, it seems a bit slower. Anyone know who does this?

1. Well, just in case....

It's become an ear-worm for me and I'm craving more, so please keep me in mind if any of you run across any info about it. Thanx ahead of time.

3. Darn! I tried googling 'Stones' just now!!!!

Oh well, no harm done! :hi: No, I'm looking for a version done in a recent TV ad with a female vocalist, thanks anyway.

4. what was the TV ad for?

a paint company? more info is needed...

5. I don't recall

:shrug: sorry, ... I guess I should have mentioned that I don't recall the advertisement. I was so captured by the version of the song that I totally missed the ad! I think it might have been one of the Superbowl ads but I am not sure now because I think I may have heard it at least once prior to the Superbowl.

8. I'll do some research and see what I can find

I'm crafty that way!

11. a quick search came up with

Darkseed
Rammstein
Screaming Dead
Black Dahlia Murder

any of these bands ring a bell?

15. rofl: Rammstein!!!

I didn't know that Rammstein covered that song too.... that's just tooooo funny!!! Now I've gotta go look! None of the other names ring a bell, not that I had any names to work with when I posted the OP. (btw, I've got one of Rammstein's albums, even saw them once a few years back, liked 'em ok but I can not picture them doing covers of ANYTHING Rolling Stones!)

16. my ex-roommate loved Rammstein

but he was weird! :D Check this page out and see how many bands covered it!

18. Rammstein is an interesting band imo

They were/(are?) very powerful and the lyrics, all in German left much to the imagination. When I saw them, they opened for someone else but I was there to see them and have long ago forgotten who they opened for...perhaps it was Slipknott, (another interesting band).

I believe that I've found who I was looking for. QueenOfCalifornia found the singer for me and it wasn't too hard to find the version of the song in my ear-worm snippet from there. Thank you for your efforts as well. :pals:

14. See reply 7

QueenOfCalifornia found a close vocal match. I've heard soooooo many versions of Paint It Black over the past couple of hours lately so I am not 100% sure at the moment but I think she may indeed be the vocalist I was looking for. I'll know for sure once I find the version in the advertisement, (if it's out there).

6. Please...

what is the ad for?

We love u but not enough info here. :)

[chknltl]

9. Sorry, no clue about the advertisement

I had company over on Superbowl Sunday both prior to and after the game. I caught the song but missed the ad. It was later that this version turned up as an ear-worm for me. I spent awhile on You Tube lookin for it but no luck there either. I found this one which also has a female vocalist who sounds like the one I recall from the ad but it isn't quite the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCjq-3g9ewU&feature=related
The version in the ad was sung even more 'Goth' like and a bit slower, it was quite haunting to me and I was hoping to find the entire version of it somewheres online. Sorry, I truly have nothing more to work with....I figured/hoped someone else here might know more.
btw: thanx for the love :pals:

7. Vanessa Carlton

does a great version - http://www.vanessacarlton.com/

Bet it's her. :)

10. Bingo I think!

That's the voice or pretty darn close to it. If it's her, she did a somewhat slower, more Goth version of it in the advertisement I heard. That voice closely matches the ear-worm I have, now I have something to work with! Thanx for the help QueenOfCalifornia.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

12. I like her too

she has an eery, haunting quality.

Go forth and earworm ----- xoxo

13. it could have just been recorded for the ad

that way they wouldn't have to pay publishing royalties to this person that they're sort-of mimicking.

[chknltl]

17. BINGO BINGO BINGO!!!!!

Here is the version I heard: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&q=vanessa+carlton,+paint+it+black&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title#

I'm still not sure which advertisement I heard her sing the snippet in, don't really care at this point because now I have an entire version to go with the earworm! I really love this rendition too btw, now I'll be getting her CD soonest! Thank you very much QueenOfCalifornia
