VIDEO: GM commissions Chevrolet Volt dance to go with song. Yes, really. 4 days ago on Autoblog

"E for electricity, V for Chevy Volt and me..." Catchy little diddly, sure. But we were mostly willing to let the Chevrolet Volt song make the deep, dark trek into obscurity with nary another mention. That is, until today. What made us change our tune, you ask? Boy, are you in for a treat. ...
