OK, picture this, tv shot opens up with a young 30's something couple hustling down the twisties, hair blowin', when the guy (natch :eyebrow: ) reaches for the radio and turns on the Solstice "signature" tune on the radio! :Warp: You know, like Seger singing "like a rock", or Zep's music for Cadillac. :rolleyes: I'm not sure if anyone's using SteppinWolf's "Magic carpet ride"?....but that'd be a good one! LOL! C'mon, nominate your song here! You never know, the General (Lutz?) could be listening?! :rockon

Ahhh...excellent question. I can think of numerous possibilities:

Radar Love - Golden Earring
Runnin' down a dream - Tom Petty
Baby got Going - Liz Phair
Independent Luxury - The Soundtrack of Our Lives
Wonderment - Racecar
Make You Feel That Way - Blackalicious (probably to Hip-Hop-ish for a car commercial)
Ball and Chain -Social Distortion

I could have sworn that "Magic Carpet Ride" was already used in a commercial...maybe by Dodge? I think it was remixed somewhat. Not sure, though.

I would prefer something more Jimi Hendrixian.....

Imagine "Voodoo Child" (not chile), the opening few bars twanging, as a the Solstice stops at a light, all the other drivers in other cars look over at it, as the Solstice lowers it's top to the beat of the guitar.....like a seventies porn movie.

The drums kick in and you see the accelerator foot rev the drilled aluminum pedal to the beat, the guitar sings, the drums thump, the sun shines.....

The light goes green the music explodes in full chorus now, and everyone else is left standing still at the light as they watch the Solstice pull away. All other traffic stops, drivers jaws already dropped on the floor.

End with black screen and, large Pontiac emblem, and price $19,995 (or thereabouts)

Sounds good to me! :banasex0r

That sounds great Psychosquirrel!!!! I can picture it now. ahhh........

And Magic Carpet Ride was used in the chevy commercial with all of the vehicles driving onto the car carrier.

I second using Radar Love. That's the perfect cruising song!
