[Merged] Song in a Mitsubishi commercial
[Edit: The two threads have been merged] Fellows
It's a Mitsubishi(sp?) spot with lots of people waving at the car (not sure of the model), and the payoff is a kid in the backseat. I'm not sure how long it's been running, but the track they use really got my attention. Very light, very vocal. Might be the best part of the song for all I know, but I have to pursue it.
Something like:
"Do you realize.....that you have...the most beautiful face...."
It's nice sounding. TIA.

The music in the background has these lyrics "...do you realize that you have the most beautiful face?..."
Does anyone know what this song is?
Thanks!

yeah i hear ya. i had to listen to it in some promos that blockbuster video runs in their stores blockbuster!
Also, this band you love so much, might have needed to do it in order to put out another CD, ya know?
wait a second, is it that you don't like it because of the saturation the ad gives it? thus numbing the meaning of the song to you?
if so, that's cool, I can dig that.

Bingo. And it makes me not like it so much hearing a snippet of it, out of context. Hell, I don't like listening to songs OUT OF ORDER on an album. If I'm listening to a song, I like it to be in the context it was meant to be.
mind you, i love the song, devo rules, and that commercial was filmed in downtown toronto where i was just living seven months ago, but it still irks me.
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Then if you got it you don?t want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don?t be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go...
...Freedom from choice
Is what you want
The other song that I think was rEALLY well integrated into an ad is Pictures of You by the Cure in the HP digital photography ads. One of my favourite ads on TV these days...
I think its the fact that we're not hearing Britney Spears or Celine Dion in these ads that makes them ok with me. its not a band "selling out"... its a company "adding cool"....
If the Flaming Lips can make another album like their last few, they can do whatever they want. they make great music, and they deserve the dollars they earn with it.
