"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). 'So Easy' was used for a time on British television adverts for T-Mobile, as well as the displays between programs on Channel 4. The vocals on 'Remind Me' are sung by Erlend Øye.

Remind Me (someone elses mix) is currently being used in the soundtrack for Sephora stores.

The song was also used in a September 2006 commercial for GEICO where a "caveman" is walking on a travelator in an airport and is offended by a GEICO billboard that reads "So easy, a caveman can do it". The use of this song is a reference to past commercials where the caveman was offended by other GEICO advertisements featuring the phrase. The song's synthpop feel fits the 70's feel of the commercial.

[edit] Response

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. So Easy contains samples from the chorus of Bobby Vinton's recording of "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 the French motion graphics studio H5. It features a day in the life of a woman working in the London's Square Mile solely through infographics; this includes labelled close-ups of everyday objects, product lifecycles, schematic diagrams, charts, and is generally illustrated in a simple isometric visual style. "Someone Else's Club Mix" is used for the audio track, instead of the original release.
