What commercial was this? "She" who? Guess I haven't seen it. My brain is hanging upside down...
(giggles) Sorry hon~that's my brain on weekend mode! 😛
It's a cell phone commercial and the name of the song was something like "Hop Around" which sounds silly but has a very Ramone sound to it. I'm a huge fan, I just wondered if she was any relation to the guys....
XOXO

I heard that commercial too and wondered trhe same thing - was it a Ramones cover or someting. I'll bet a Google search will answer all.
Hmmm...here's two bits of info I found. Hope they answer your question:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well the end of the century has come and gone, and the Ramones have certainly come a long way, baby!
Forget their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, their music has now achieved such common currency that AT&T is even using it to sell cell phones in their TV ads. What makes it so ironic that the music industry would now be paying homage to these punk rock pioneers and that well-respected corporate entities would even be jumping on their bandwagon to help move their merchandise is the fact that, as this new documentary on the band points out, the Ramones spent the latter part of the last century playing the role of the outsiders with their noses pressed up against the glass, fruitlessly hoping to be let in the club and given some kind of validation. Having given up long ago on the lofty notion of achieving any kind of mainstream acceptance, it's more than just a little ironic that here they are, after the end of the century (and years after the band's demise), seemingly more widely accepted—and even respected—than ever before. Maybe God is a Ramones fan after all!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Dee Dee Ramone, bassist and one of the founding members of the seminal punk band the Ramones, was found dead in his Hollywood home, the Los Angeles coroner's office said Thursday. He was 49. (06/07/02)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apparently "Dee Dee Ramone" was a -he-, and was indeed a member of the Ramones, but unfortunately passed away in 2002. But the song you're apparently hearing in the cell phone commercial (I've not seen it yet myself) does appear to be a Ramones song!

Have you seen their documentary? It was at one of our local indie theaters but haven't seen it yet.
