"Days Go By" is a song by the band Dirty Vegas from their eponymous album. The song became a radio hit in 2002, peaking at #14 in the U.S., and received the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. "Days Go By" received significant public exposure in a commercial for a Mitsubishi car that year as a 2003 model. The music video for the song is unusual in that it largely consists of two dancers representing one character performing a routine of popping, locking, the robot and breakdancing in front of a restaurant in East Los Angeles, California. The video was also filmed there. The young dancer in the video is Garland Spencer. The older dancer is Byron McIntyre.

- The Eclipse commercial was in turn parodied by a skit on Chappelle's Show in which Dave Chappelle leaves the dancer by the side of the road. This was for the 2004 Eclipse, although the car actually used in the commercial was Dave's own Nissan 350Z.
