Title: New Honda Accord Commercials
Post by: rincon on Nov 11, 2010, 02:14 PM
Anyone noticed the background music in the new Accord adds? It has haunting background vocals that sound right out of  MMJ. It clearly is not them, but I think their influence is more known than they are themselves.

So you are saying that Art Garfunkel used a time machine to go to the future and totally rip off Rollin' Back.  That asshole!

I get internet sarcasm better than most. No offense, if anything I feel silly.

DON'T feel silly. Every single time I hear that commercial in the background, I always do a double take thinking it's MMJ, because the clip they use is so close to Rollin' Back.

I must've seen the commercial three times tonight, watching Futurama with the wife.  Definitely fills my mind with MMJ.  Close enough for me to care less where it originally came from.

I thought that everyone has heard the Garden State soundtrack by now.

I'm sooo glad I found this thread--the ads have totally sent me back to the S & G section of the crates in my l'il home.  I am totally on the boat with y'all identifying the Accord clip with MMJ.  That is one of the first things I mentioned to the lady of the house--that I got goose bumps and thought of MMJ.  She didn't catch the reference until I said "Think Wordless Chorus" and then her lightbulb lit.

I TOTALLY WANT MMJ TO COVER THIS NEXT TIME OUT!!!
