"My Drive Thru"

Video: Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and Pharrell: "My Drive Thru"

"As jingles go, the beat should get your shoes tapping, but it doesn't sound like an example of artists taking the corporate dollar to make something they couldn't profitably do on their own," we wrote about this tune, commissioned by Converse, when it first started circulating. If the track isn't likely to make any year-end singles lists, the video/ad is somewhat clever, with a nifty computer effect where multiple 2-D versions of the trio move around the screen. That's one more dimension than Julian Casablancas brings to his vocals at any rate.
