America Runs On Dunkin'

From This Might Be A Wiki

In April 2006, Dunkin' Donuts began their America Runs on Dunkin' ad campaign, featuring multiple commercials with original songs by none other than They Might Be Giants. (It makes perfect sense, really. TMBG is known for being a coffee-fueled band.) A few more commercials premiered up until June, when round 1 of the campaign had ended. In September and October of 2006, round 2 began, bringing six new commercials (with the ending lines spoken by John Goodman). In January 2008, two new commercials began airing.
