The vocal track was cut out. Karaoke version so to say. Always loved the album track whereas I am happy they ditched it live.

Actually, when they play the full commercial, there is MK at the end singing, "Walk of life, you do the walk of life."
I've heard several different lengths of the commercial, which is played a lot on CNN. Sometimes it starts with an announcer saying something like, "People with diabetes come from many walks of life." Sometimes that part is cut out, Sometimes there are longer endings, including the part with MK singing.
