"Remind Me"/"So Easy" is the first single from the Norwegian duo Röyksopp's debut album Melody A.M.. The single version is substantially different from the album version (it is more upbeat). The song was used for a time on British television adverts for T-Mobile. The vocals are sung by Erlend Øye.

The song was also used in a September 2006 commercial for GEICO where a "caveman" is walking on a travelator in an airport (which appears to be LAX airport, judging by the ATC tower in the background) and is shocked to see a billboard advertisement for GEICO featuring an actor in a bad caveman costume quoted as saying: "So easy, a caveman can do it". The song is a reference to past commercials where the caveman was offended by GEICO commercials featuring the "So easy, a caveman can do it" phrase; obviously considered demeaning and "racist" by cavemen everywhere.

The single was released in July 2002 a few weeks before the album was officially released August 12, 2002. When the single was released in U.K. it reached #21 on the UK Singles Chart. The Track samples the Chorus of Bobby Vinton's song Blue on Blue: Blue On Blue, Heartache On Heartache Blue On Blue, Now That We Are Through

[edit] Music video

The song is also famous for its animated video, directed by H5. It features a day in the life of a woman in a world of infographics, labeled close-ups, and schematic diagrams.
