"...wine I've been into ...1. What are first line or so of the 1970s song that Heinz used for their catsup commercial? and 2. Which singer originally recorded that song?"

"What are first line or so"??? Wow, Azizi, I guess you have been into wine... ;^)

Anyway, the song is "Anticipation", written by Carly Simon and originally recorded by her in 1971 (title track of the album, released November 1971). The "first line or so" used for the commercial was the chorus: "Anticipation, anticipation is making me late, it's keeping me waiting" (pronounced "way-yay-yay-yay-yayyy-ting"). That particular recording was used for the commercial, was it not?

By the way, according to the Heinz website, the company prefers the spelling "ketchup".
