This spot reminds me of the opening of that great TV show, "Corner Gas". If you look around you at GZ, you can see other places where's there's quite a lot going on, but right here, nada.
As for the song, "Not A Lot Goin' On" was co written by Craig Northey of The Odds and Jesse Valenzuela of The Gin Blossoms, and had been recorded by Northey. Brent Butt heard it and liked it. The songwriters tweaked it a bit and it became the opening theme for "Corner Gas". Butt then asked Northey for one more song, and the result, "My Happy Place", became the show's closing theme.
