I love that Flaming Lips song. Any time that commercial comes on that line reminds me of my wife. I guess she heard me telling somebody this because she was smiling when the commercial was on last night.

Hey Jesse
N..now Jerome, yes!
Check it out!

You're making me feel old. I have the album Peter Gabriel (the 1st one of 3 with that title) containing Solsbury Hill and The Yes Album (with All Good People) on vinyl. Sheesh!

Jenny I've got your number, I need to make you mine...Of course I dialed the number.

I really do miss the 80's. I di hear Frankie goes to Hollywood on the way to the mall this morning, ahhh brough back great memories.

That Flaming Lips album is AWESOME. I didn't know a song from the album was in a commercial! I guess I really am out of the loop!

Hi, do you happen to know who sang the song that's in the new Gallant commercial? A man is driving and it looks like he's singing along to this song, but he's actually saying his shopping list over and over again. Thanks.

Dude - I'm probably a bit older than you - i'm thirty five and let me tell you, that song in the new mitsubishi add - the FLaming lips song is a TOTAL knockoff from any and all of the songs written and performed by a group called Gang of Four - an eighty's band, not very popular, but I loved them - anyhow, i can't belive it wasn't them - gang of four - and my excitement was curtailed when i realized that not only the gang after all - man, you wouldn't belive how they have ripped off the group.

Pam / Karmar: I'm not certain, but I think the song in the newer Gallant commercial is "Dance to the Underground" by Radio 4.

Good call, myk_33, sounds like Dance to the Underground by Radio 4 alright:

{P.S. - The Flaming Lips-Do you Realize song is or has been used to promo some commercial but not this one. Thanks for the useful board anyho!}

Actually, that is another commercial where the Gang of Four-ish song plays. The Flaming Lips sound NOTHING like Gang of Four. You are getting your Gallant commercials mixed up.

Wow... I'm thouroughly impressed and very glad that you have this great site. Bit of trivia for you... doubt you will know it but worth a shot... it was a song that appeared on an AT&T commercial last year some time. There was a guy an girl sitting on a bus but they couldn't sit together. They were playing "I spy" over their cell phones as buffalo ran beside the bus...any ideas
Thanks so much

Thank you so much for posting that "Flaming Lips" song! I've been looking everywhere for it, and finally stumbled onto your site! Great song...your efforts are appreciated!

There are two Mitsubishi Galant commercials airing as of January 30 2004 with two different songs :

First one: Flaming Lips - "Do You Realize" {more ethereal song)

Second one: getting more airplay as of Late January "Dance to the Underground" by Radio 4 {more upbeat song with guy saying his shopping list}

Here's another page that lists music from Mitsubishi commercials: http://www.zipposusa.com/mitsubishi/mitsubishisongs.htm

(Just adding value to your services for your loyal readers. :-))

thanks for just being knowledgeable in music. i knew the flaming lips one , but i'm always googling lyrics to find songs. i couldn't understand the radio 4 one, so it's great that you knew that. continue in your random help!

I've been looking for the name and band for this song for like a week now. You're the only site so far that Google sent me to. And I've joined the members list. Great blog, interesting stuff.

This is unrelated to the flaming lips song, but there was an ad for at&t a while back with a couple not speaking to each other ... and he busts into her meeting with a sign saying he's an idiot and he's sorry, and it turns out that he really just text messaged her ...

but what I'm curious about is if anyone knows who's responsible for the guitar music in the background ...

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I liked it, and I was wondering if it was a piece by a band someone recognized.

If someone knows or could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the Mitsubishi info. While a few others are asking, I've got a question about a song used in a Saturn commercial from spring/summer of last year. The action involved individuals driving around in cars fashioned out of large cardboard boxes. The song opened with a few bars of acoustic guitar intro, after which the vocal melody began. There were no lyrics, just la's - la la la lala la la la la la la la, etc. If you're music-savvy, the melody went E G G G E G G E G A G C E E D C A D D A C E D (I won't try and indicate the rhythm - if you know the tune, you'll recognize it in the first few intervals). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

theres another commercial for mitsubishi but i dunno which car it is. they have two cars that are like racing and an 18-wheeler dropping cars on them and the two cars are dodging them. the song on it is really good and i wanted to know the name of it so i can dl it

Hey, just wanted to give a little tip to everyone. I've done alot of commercial-music searching myself. alot of companies won't help you, because they haven't the time or they just don't care. But, luckily, mitsubishi is very nice. If you want to know any of their songs in any commercial, go to their website and contact them directly. they'll tell you the advertiser they used if they don't know the song themselves, and the advertiser definetly will. It takes a little time, but i guarantee it works, i've done it several times! (sorry not for any of the ads mentioned though)

Thanks for the info on the 'do you realize' song!!

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I had been looking for the Flaming Lips song FOREVER!!!! it was on my mind day and night I couldn't even sleep!!! It's so stupid how mitsubishi won't tell you this information!!!

Hey I got one to ask u guys.. tho it's not about Mitsubishi commercials... its that other one from the 7 UP commercial.... remember?? the girl blows into her microphone (she's a disk jockey) and this other guy in an un buttoned shirt feels the "cool, refreshing breeze" of 7UP on his chest.... I read so many forums.... nobody knows what song that is.. tho it sounds just amazing...

Oh and another song in a mistubish commercial...
Artist: Telepopmusik Title: Just Breathe

--raz3r out.

Wow. This site is exactly what I've been looking for and been afraid to admit. I'm addicted to commercial tunes.
i, too, was wondering what the "cardboard box-car" song was, as mentioned above.

Hey those of you with questions about other commercials, check out www.adtunes.com.

I am looking for a song that is in a Mitsubishi radio ad. It is playing in the background of the ad. It is a females voice, it sounds like a sweet little song. It was played on the radio summer 2004. Please help, it is driving me CRAZY!

Thanks to all participants I've just viewed! It's given me some new directions to search out, but I'm interested in an old spot that had two couples riding in 'whatever' make listening to a techno-tune that had non-descript dub style vocals and hypnotic trance sound and the girl in the front passenger seat is doing some sort of mime-type robotic dancing in her seat. This is from at least two years ago? Nice head music for the right frame of mind if you know what I mean.If anyone can assist, please drop me a line.Thanks in advance! T.C.

OOOOPPPPSSS....sorry, new to this. I guess it'd help to have included my email address for 'the helpful'; eartime@comcast.net for miss robotic dancer spot...THANKS AGAIN! Since I'm back again,I'll throw a generic out for the younger generation; if you've seen a commercial spot (don't remember the product now tho) that has a "hip" tune called "I'm In With the In Crowd"; that's an old 60s tune from Dobie Gray who brought us the classic "Drift Away" which he reprised a duet of awhile back with a contemporary artist. Nice chattin' music with you all......Musically, T.C.

I live in the Chicago area and was wondering, 'Who does the radio spots for the Galant?' This gentleman is a quick witted, smart mouth fellow. I think his approach is very good. How can I find out more about the commercials?

Eekombu

can any one give me the name of a song from a mitsubitsi commercial- a man was driving and a woman in passenger seat it was raining and they were on thier way to a play. they saw a dog on the side of road and stopprd to pick the wet dog up. i think it was a 1999 to 2000 or 2001 commercial.
