Macy's Commercial

I have been noticing this catchy Macy's commercial lately. Whenever I see it, I think that the music seems to good to be the background to a commercial. Today I found out why. The song is performed by Megan and Liz. They are an up and coming duet. Macy's was just borrowing them for their commercial.

You know a song has blown up huge when there are people on YouTube producing videos with the song as the background. Another indicator is that there are a ton of people singing their own version of the song on YouTube. Yep. Megan and Liz got that.

Obiously Macy's put some big bucks behind the commercial and it shows. I have been trying to pinpoint what it is about this commercial that I love. Sure the lyrics to the song are cool and sung well. "This one's for the girls, messing with the boys..." But the real draw is the dancing that goes with the music.

The commercial focuses in on a trio of girls dancing to the song. We only see them dance for a few seconds. The girl in the center looks like she might be the girl next door. She has some good moves. The unusual thing is that she appears to be really happy, having a good time.

This might be good acting. Or perhaps they caught the dancers having a great time. Either way, Macy's got my attention. This is for something called "mstylelab". Unfortunately the commercial did not explain what the heck that means.
