Does anyone know? It kind of has a Ween vibe to it. Sounds like Gener's voice.

I have found the song in question since posting it and it is "The Birds and The Bees" by Patrick and Eugene.

And the Nick Drake song they used a few years back was "Pink Moon" which is the first time I had ever heard of him and now he is one of my musical hero's.

I don't remember ever seeing the commercial with "Ocean Man" but now that you bring it up, I do recall hearing about that somewhere.

that's sort of what happened to me as well regarding nick drake. i heard 'pink moon' in the commercial. then, later on i heard one of his mp3s off of the pitchfork website. i was so blown away i bought one of his compilations like the very next day. i had never heard of him before either.
