I never thought any cotton-industry jingle could top the one Aaron Neville did in the early ’90s, but maybe I was wrong. My new favorite example of the genre comes from Zooey Deschanel, who, as Videogum recently discovered, has found time in between making cool-looking movies and being half of the folk-pop duo She & Him to shoot a TV ad for that softest and most breathable of natural fabrics. Her spot features a delightful little sunshine-pop song apparently titled "The Fabric of Zooey’s Life," which you can watch below or even download as a free MP3. (Miranda Lambert did one of these, too.) I’m not sure this is likely to affect my feelings about cotton one way or the other, but "The Fabric of Zooey’s Life" is one catchy tune. Don’t you think?

Certainly not a fan of Zooey. She was SO wooden in The Happening. And as for her singing, not much better. Maybe if she concentrated on just ONE career, she could excel. Trying to do both is failing in my view.

omg zooey is totally my celeb crush. she and him vol 1 was soo good. stoked for the new album!!! i love her voice and her acting style! keep on keepin on!
ok you’re judging zooey’s acting from THE HAPPENING? really?
also, her voice is terrific and a total throwback.
to each their own, i suppose.
I thought she sang better in “Elf”.
It’s essentially the same song folk icon Richie Havens first did back in the 80′s,just a bit more up tempo.
Sounds like a certain entertainmentblogger is jealous of higher traffic entertainment bloggers…what’s the matter? Not getting enough revenue from your google ads?
Zooey is amazing and I love her band! I saw this here too!

everything what she does is perfect!
Uhh, is the author of this article a crackhead, or does he just have a crush on this Deschanel women/girl?
i can give you a list of 50 celebrity singers that could have done a better job than this, and only about 10 % of those would have a shot at equaling or outdoing Neville’s version.
Articles like this are a demonstration of how dumb people have gotten over the years.
