Yeah, not an expert here, but the ad clearly is trying to get the customer to associate "Don Henley" and the Eagles song "Take It Easy" with their product. While they might be common English words, they aren't simply using these words in some other legitimate and unrelated combination. That doesn't sound like a fair use case to me.
