David Wittman, aka DJ Dave, had a viral hit in June with his rap about the Whole Foods parking lot (although many Berkeleyans preferred the localized version by Lae Charles).

Wittman (Berkeley High ’92) and his commercial were spotted by Berkeleysider Lisa Sibony during the most recent broadcast of TV show “Glee”.
