Thumbs up Who wants to have some fun?!!!

Now are you just saying you wanna have fun, or do you REALLY wanna have some FUN?!!

-Kramer.

Seriously, Here's the scenario:

You're sitting at home and the phone rings. It's Lutz, Bob Lutz, and he says to you: We're bringing back the Camaro. We need a song to use for the commercial.

What song do you use?

Why?

Lenny Kravitz, "Are you gonna go my way"

It just fits the advert ideas I had come up with before (quick-paced short track driving clips).

i can see the commercial w/ the lenny kravitz's 'are you gonna go my way', but not with sandstorm (dude are you serious? lol) ... the u2 song, i dunno... seems like a song they'd put in saturn commercials, lol

thats a tough question though about what song you wanna see in a camaro commercial... it'll all depend on what kind of commercial it is, like... what exactly is going on in the commercial, you know? the plot and the theme of it...

Thumbs up

Some good ones I hadn't thought of in there.

I agree that the presentation of the commercial would dictate the music or vice versa.

I'm mentally picturing the commercial starting off with a black screen, and text appearing (for the first 8-10 seconds), along the lines of "...for 35 years it melted pavement, turned heads, blah, blah, blah.....it's back!---right as the pounding music hits, pictures of the car in action; Spinning tires, sliding, etc.

That said, all to the sound of 'Bottoms Up' by Van Halen.

"Back In Black" by AC/DC.

Or "Back In the Saddle" by Aerosmith

Although a saddle draws up an image of a horse...and a Mustang....

Maybe that one is a bad idea.

Republica - Ready To Go (opening)
Filter/Crystal Method - (Can't You) Trip Like I Do (part where it goes:

I've got the legacy of a billion souls
I've got the world down my back, but I don't seem to care
I've got the comprehension of a world unaware
Can't You Trip Like I Do?
Laid out on my back I can't sleep cause I'm slumming
Eyes in my teeth I can't see cause I'm eating
Head full of noise I can't think cause it's crushing
Back on my feet like a freight train oncoming)

Metallica - Fuel (Gimme fuel, gimme fire gimme that which I desire - UH!)
