Music in the commercial
Description
The ad is in black & white, and was filmed in San Francisco and New Orleans. The scenes range from city to rural, and correspond to the words of the poem (which is supposedly an actual recording of Walt Whitman). For example, when "strong" is read, there is a scene with a shirtless guy. And when "love" is read, there's a guy and girl kissing.
Some people are wearing Levi's jeans, but it's more than halfway through the ad that any denim is clearing shown.
Airing in July 2009, the ad also features one theme associated with the 4th of July - fireworks.
The part of the poem included in the ad:
America
Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love

Could not have said it better. Amen.
Pathetic desperate attempt to stir up sales. Why show a black man kissing white woman. Won't be buying levi ever. Moneywhore.
