Has anyone noticed car commercials have some of the nicest Electronic-type music cuts? One example that sticks out at me is a recent commercial for the new Passat, focusing on it's steerable headlights option. A car comes across a bicycler on a dark road and uses it's headlights to light the way for the biker, while a very nice bell melody playhs in the background.
Most American car commercials simply license out pop hits, but some of the luxury lines and foreign companies really go all out to provide nice music for their advertisements. What are some others you have noticed? |

Haha, my first few years in college, I was known for emailing companies to find out artist names and song titles. I also called severasl companies. Sometimes its an ad aganecy or a group of sound engineers (similar to a think tank) who provide the music, other times its an actual licensed song.
Looper - Mondo ## was the first song I pulled from a commercial (an anti-drug commercial in late 2000) and I've been contacting companies ever since |

| I don't know, I havent received a return email from Volkswagon, but it sounds like just a sound snippet built for the commercial. It's not incredibly complicated, just 5 or 6 instruments, but I do find the song very nice to listen to. |

Scumfrog - Music Revolution is in an ad for some Chevy commercial, but it doesn't really work for me. Theyre trying to shed the image of 'planned obsolesnce' by suggesting that Chevy has undergone a revolution. I'm not sure I believe it, though I did have an old Lumina that had an engine that wouldn't quit. Too bad the rest of the car fell apart around it.
Theres another awesome one, but I can't place the car or song...It may be the navigatore commercial. |
