"'Remind Me'/'So Easy' is the first single from the Norwegian duo Röyksopp's debut album Melody A.M.. The single version is substantially different from the album version (it is more upbeat). The song was used for a time on British television adverts for T-Mobile. The vocals are sung by Erlend Øye.
The song was also used in a September 2006 commercial for GEICO where a 'caveman' is walking on a travelator in an airport (which appears to be JFK airport, judging by the ATC tower in the background) and is shocked to see a billboard advertisement for GEICO featuring an actor in a bad caveman costume quoted as saying: 'So easy, a caveman can do it'. The song is a reference to past commercials where the caveman was offended by GEICO commercials featuring the 'So easy, a caveman can do it' phrase; obviously considered demeaning and 'racist' by cavemen everywhere."
I really like this song, as it puts me in mind of the aesthetics of movies like Rollerball & 2001, & of the best parts of Bauhaus architecture.
