Car commercial music
Thu Aug 23, 2012 9:51 am
Now that it's clear 'em out' time at the car stores we've got a whole different set of background music in the car commercials. NISSAN has started using a 'GREASE-ish' type music (GAKKK! Can't stand either the movie, it makes my cavities ache, or Olivia Neutron Bomb). 
HONDA, on the other hand is using Judas Priest's 'You've got another think coming'
HONDA has used JP as music in commercials before, I've adapted to hearing music from when I was younger as background music at the store (and half expect to hear STEPPENWOLF doing 'The Pusher' soon while cruising the produce aisles), and find myself getting mildly irritated if they interrupt a song I haven't heard in years for some P.A. announcement by a 19 year old kid who deep throats the microphone and thinks he/she needs to yell into the mic. I freely admit to being an old metalhead, tough choice in the JEEP sometimes, Dylans 'Hwy 61' or SCORPIONS. 
I also read that Dee Snyder has told a certain politician to stop using 'We're not gonna take it', kinda like HEART did a few years ago with another politico and their song 'Barracuda'.

The Hummer TV commercials all feature original song compositions just for the commercials. So you can't go out and buy the songs but you can buy other songs from those artists. The artists they used are Robot Repair, Birgir Sigurdsson, Owen O'toole, Face the Music, Fluid and Duotone. The Lincoln TV car commercials do have popular songs that you can even download from the Lincoln website. The 2010 Lincoln MKT has Under The Milky Way by Sia. The 2010 Lincoln MKS Burnin' For You performed by Shiny Toy Guns. Major Tom performed by Shiny Toy Guns is on the 2010 Lincoln MKZ commercial. The Lincoln full line commercial features Twilight Zone performed by CSS.
