What is the name of the song featured in the "Jarhead" comercials?
It is a pretty cool song that has a guy singing "bum, bum, bum". Anyone know?

Bcolon must not have watched MTV or listened to the Radio in the last YEAR or so. Jesus Walks has been EVERYWHERE! Ribbing aside, I like the way they are marketing this flick, the ads make it look pretty intense. I have faith in Sam Mendes and LOVE any war related movies, so I can't wait to see this one.

Honestly I watch MTV but i rarely see videos, but I guess they are on in the afternoon, Im never home then. I have siris radio, I sometimes listen to the pop stations but i had never heard this song before. Maye he doesn't get play there. I rarely listen to the rap stations though, because they are in the 50's.
I too have faith in Mendes...

I do predict that it will probably be a big hit due to the preview using it & if it is featured in the movie. Pretty catchy.

It does work well in the trailer though.

And come on, it's not that far-fetched that it could chart again. All the old, rockin' white boys might hear it for the first time like me and buy it. Ferris Bueller made "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles chart again. Oops, there I go showing my age again.
Anyone know it's peak on the Top 40? I tried to find the info but never could. Guess I changed the channel everytime it came on. Not a big fan of hip-hop & rap.

Hmm...from the Wikipedia article: 'West built "Jesus Walks" around a sample from the Arc Choir's "Walk with Me".' I bet that's the BUM BUM BUM stuff.
Edit: I was correct. Instead of rapping you get "Jesus, Walk with me!"
