Kia being sued over background music used in 2010 Sorento ad

Kia is being sued over the background track, preformed by “The Heavy,” used in the Korean automaker’s weird Super Bowl ad for the 2010 Kia Sorento. Drive-In Music Co. has filed a lawsuit against Kia, CBS and NFL claiming that the featured song “How You Like Me Now” is originally by a British rock band know as Dyke and the Blazers.

Drive-In says that it is ripped off of a song is called “Let a Woman Be a Woman, Let a Man Be a Man” by Dyke and the Blazers.

That leaves us wondering why Drive-In is going after Kia and not The Heavy.

Hit the jump to see the commercial and to listen to Let a Woman be a Woman, Let a Man Be a Man.
