Yes, they play the song from the Fruitopia commercial.

Also, the Cocteau Twins wrote some music for the Fruitopia commercials in the 90's:

I've seen the Muffs live a couple times. They kicked ass.

I saw the Muffs live on a three band bill around the time the first album came out. Going in they were the only band I didn't care about seeing. When we left they were the only band I wanted to see again. I don't even remember who the other 2 bands were, but I remember lots of people were talking about the Muffs at the end of the night. It's great when a you don't know a single song by a band and they still kick your ass and make you an instant fan. Kim Shattuck is a hell of a great person to be fronting a band.

Wow, the Muffs must have had some pretty heavy video camera accompaniment starting out – here's a video taped from their first show (Kim says so) on January 26.

Having never seen/heard them, but knowing of the connection, I always assumed the Fruitopia ads would've used Crush Me.
Now that I bother to look it up, I guess a song about a stalker makes as much sense…

This is my favourite era of The Muffs. I love that first album so much that the rest of their discography just sorta paled in comparison.

Neato. I was an incorrigible Muffs fan. About a year ago I happened upon this video of The Muffs live in Pensacola ca. 1995. And yep, it was the show I went to! MEMRYS.
