"Gold Lion" is the first single by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their second album, ''Show Your Bones''. Distinct in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' discography, it features acoustic guitar and a more slowed-down pace in contrast to former works like "Bang!" and "Date with the Night." It was released on March 21, 2006, and became the band's second major hit after 2004's "Maps." "Gold Lion" was named after the two Gold Lion awards won by the Adidas commercial ''Hello Tomorrow'' at the 2005 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. Karen O had contributed vocals to ad's song composed by Sam "Squeak E. Clean" Spiegel, brother of Karen's then-boyfriend Spike Jonze who had directed the ad. "Gold Lion" was featured in the 2006 edition of the ''NME Essential Bands'' compilation album. It was also featured in a 2007 advertisement spot for Yves Saint Laurent's "Elle" perfume. The ad, directed by Michael Haussman, features Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha. Additionally, the song was featured in the Grey's Anatomy episode 17 Seconds. The song was also featured in the trailer for the second season of the hit BBC America show, ''Orphan Black''. It has been noted by some music critics that "Gold Lion" sounds similar to "No New Tale To Tell" from 1980s alternative band Love and Rockets. In 2010 the instrumentals of the song were used in a commercial for Apple Inc.'s iPad device. ==Track listing== #"Gold Lion" – 3:09 #"Let Me Know" (Demo) – 3:31 #"Gold Lion" (Diplo's Optimo remix) – 4:04 #"Gold Lion" (Nick Zinner remix) – 3:14 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gold Lion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
