What kinda music fits your car?

Getaway · 10-12-2008, 01:03 PM

The SKY/OPEL GT is not just any car, It's a sports car, a beauty but also something that deserves good music....

So, what tune would you promote this car with?

I vote for "Inside of Me - DJ Epic". What tune would you choose?

uranium-238 · 10-12-2008, 01:20 PM

Let's see...my top tracks would be: (In order of preference)
#1 "Fire It Up" -Black Label Society
#2 "Panama" -Van Halen
#3 "Wherever I May Roam" -Metallica
#4 "Haunted" -Disturbed
#5 "Ain't It Fun" -Guns N' Roses

And if the avatar pic didn't tip you off, I'm a guitarist and a music nut.

Fidget · 10-12-2008, 01:25 PM

For me its a theme song of "Your So Bad" Tom Petty...my husband picked this song for me and my car....
But..Not "really" me...

Is Am Radio used for the GM commercial

YouTube - GM Commercial "Then Again Now Again"

**G8TR** · 10-12-2008, 02:01 PM

I'd use "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones

Since the question is a song to "promote" the car vice a song to play "in" the car, I've always wanted to choreograph a sports car commercial to the following song:

As for a song to play while driving.....in the spirit of my Avatar. I'll let ya'll guess who. But the opening fits so well for top down driving.

Tous les vents, [all the wind]
Balayent les maux de cœur [blows the evil out of my heart]
Moi, j'suis comme le vent : [Me, I'm the wind]
L'esprit à mille à l'heure, [The spirit of miles per hour] {reference to fast}

YouTube - Alizee - L'Alize (HQ)

Oh, and don't forget to click on High Quality.

**G8TR** · 10-12-2008, 03:39 PM

Bogie, "What a Feeling" would make a great commercial if it was done right.

Good choice.

klipper · 10-12-2008, 04:48 PM

The theme to the TV show Firefly comes to mind:

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

But seriously, the first song I listened to in my Sky (besides browsing the radio on the way home from the dealer) was Foo Fighters - Everlong. Probably one of the coolest memories of my car thus far is hearing the mighty Ecotec roaring and my turbo purging to the sweet chorus:

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

Ahhh, good times

"King of the Road" by Fu manchu. I think this song is for a more powerful car, and definitely not a van as the video insinuates - but I like it anyway.
YouTube - Fu manchu - King of the road

And Cadillac uses a sampled song named "Genesis" by Justice for one of their commercials (that song sample starts at about 40 seconds in this link). So here's another one by Justice that I like for mine - "Phantom"
YouTube - Justice - Phantom

I don't normally get people knocking down my door for my music tastes, so to each his or her own.

MidniteBlues · 10-12-2008, 06:57 PM

#1 YouTube - Bon Jovi - Lost Highway: Video - Closed Captioned

#2 YouTube - J. Geils Band - Centrefold
