OK, sometimes I shake my head at the choice of English words in a Korean commercial, but this takes the cake...

I just heard the following lyrics in a Xii commercial for "well being" or "better life" I suppose...

I have a mandolin
I play it all night long
It makes me want to kill myself...

Uh..... Shocked

That's a line from a Magnetic Fields song, 100,000 Fireflies. Great song.

Not exactly cheery though,

You wont be happy with me
But give me one more chance
You wont be happy anyway
