Anyone recognise this music? Google doesn't seem to...

Sounds a bit like The Ramones...

No, but when I worked at McDonalds as a student (10 years ago) we would've never got away with a tattoo on our neck! First thing I noticed when I saw that advert...

(I am now officially a grumpy old man)

Nope just a sign of the times, find me a person under 30 who isn't covered in tats nowadays. If they discrimited against them they'd simply have no staff biglaugh

Proud to be different. I do have a lot of friends with terrible tattoos though.

Can't help with the song though.

I had a quick Google and it seems you're not the only one who can't track it down - t'interweb seems to think it's either:

a) obscure; or

b) new and not yet released

Sorry I can't help more

Just a made-up song I suspect. Not that difficult to use a Ramones template and then chuck in some meaningless lyrics. There's about 700 bands out there making a living from it!

Not one of yours then?! I guess the ad agency must have commissioned it specially for the advert - £500 buyout rather than get nailed for copyright.

Although I'm dead, I'm still trying to live down the fact that AO.com, a company that specialises in delivering dishwashers, saw fit to use one one of our songs in its adverts.
