M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This" in a Purell Hand Cleaner commercial

Just now, on TBS, in a commercial shown during "Seinfeld."

"Too Legit To Quit" indeed.

8. Mostly because, I hear it for 15 seconds on that commercial and am

earwormed by it for THREE FUGGIN DAYS!!

Though, Tainted Love can knock it out usually.

7. It's being used in another ad too

I can't place it-but it's done as a mashup-maybe?

9. Seinfeld

I know this might be off topic but, I see that you watch Seinfeld too. I guess I am not the only seinfeld fan on here. Cool. I watch it on TBS too. Are you a big seinfeld fan? By the way, I DID see the commercial. :)

10. I used to watch Seinfeld reruns regularly on KTVU (Oakland)...

My favorite all-time episode is the "Merv Griffin Show"...when Kramer finds the set of the old Merv show in the dumpster.

11. Best use of that song. Even if it was Rick James who had the creative...

energy to make the actual song in the first place!

12. Considering how broke Hammer is...

I'm not surprised in the least.

Kohl's "back to school" ad is using a remix of Thomas Dolby's "Blinded Me With Science" that sounds horrible.

13. Funniest hammer moment ever

He was the musical guest on an old SNL with Pee-Wee Herman as host (I think). It was right after the Iranian hostages got released, he was standing there on stage in his parachute pants, the dancing girls behind him and then he started his song with this message:

"This song is for the freed iranian hostages, they are the ones who are too legit to quit"

I'm sure the hostages appreciated the shout-out.
