The name of the song is "Sway" originally sang by Dean Martin. Not sure who does the remake.
That song in the ad IS Martin singing. You can find his music on CD.

Stradivarius Violin would probably be the best for quality sound in a quartet. These violins are top notch instruments.
All violins sound the same. No matter who makes them, the pitch of the strings is the same.
Stradivarius violins are very expensive violins that some professionals use because of their excellent tone and sound quality. They are of much better quality than standard violins that most people have.
I did a little research and it is a group out of Detroit, named the "Sound of Gospell" who sing an Eminem song for the Chrysler Big Finish 2011 holiday commercial. It's the commercial where they light up the windows of a skyscraper behind the singers and the cars in the shape of christmas tree.
They are called mutes
Yes. It lets the sound out of the violin.
Well, sometimes on certain pieces the violins sound like a chorus to me.
They're called f cuts. And electric violins don't have them because the purpose of f cuts is to let the vibrations in the violin out. Producing sound. Electric violins don't work the same way normal violins do.
It is from several violins sawing on the strings at the same time.
Apart from the differences in the parts that they play in the orchestra, no, the first and second violins do not look or sound any different. They are the same instrument. Generally, the first violins play the higher parts (including the melody), and the second violins play the lower parts and the harmony.
