Hi, saw a new Chevrolet ad featuring all of their models--SUV's, trucks, new designs, etc. Cars/trucks were driving around, and a man's voice was singing an awesome rock-type song. Couldnt make out the lyrics. If I see it again, I will try to write the lyrics down. The end was, Chevrolet, an American REvolution. All help appreciated. Thanks. Alison

The music in the new Chevie TV ad is so intriguing that I contacted Chevie for information. Here is the response from Zach Sonneborn, Customer Relations Manager:
"The musical selection in this particular commercial was written exclusively for the commercial. It was recorded by studio musicians as a 30-second time spot. The music remains untitled and is not available for public sale. I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you."
Sorry, everyone. I guess we can just hope they air the ad often. It won't be in our iPods after all.

Are you sure about that? The music doesn't sound like typical 30-second commercial compositions at all.
For example, there are lyrics. And the lyrics don't jive with the point of the commericial. Usually if lyrical music is composed for a commercial, it is written with the point of the ad campaign in mind.
Second, the song seems to begin long before the start of the commercial and go on well past the end.
Additionally, a nearly identical ad, but for the Chevy HHR, used a commerically available track "Music Revolution" by Scumfrog.
I could be wrong, but I'm wondering if we are talking about the same ad. Or perhaps the 'Chevie' rep sent out that form letter one too many times.

As far as I know the information is accurate. You and I are talking about the same ad, I believe: fast-paced, lyrics about "things you do to me," and ends with a reference to edmunds.com. I exchanged three letters with Chevrolet, and the responses were not form letters.
I read an article sometime in the past week (Time, Rolling Stone, on the Web...? Can't recall where) about the use of music in advertising. To use a rock song, advertisers may have to pay well over $100,000. A growing practice is to have your own music made by studio musicians. You own it, and it costs more like $10,000, and you can use it as many times as you want. I wish I could recall where I saw that. I think we have an example of that phenomenon here in the Chevie ad.

I haven't seen the add lately, but the song you're looking for might be "The Thing That You Do" by the "Velvet Crush." You can find the song on iTunes or emusic. The 30 sec. sample you get does not give you a flavor for the song. About one minute and half into it, however, the guitar licks that sound like the commercial (if I remember correctly) kick in. Let me know if this is it. Enjoy!

vypa is right, "I like the Way You Move" by the Bodyrockers is featured in a Coke commercial, not the Chevy commercial.
Ya, I really want this song. At the very end you can hear the song with a sort of chanting part. Ba ba or something like that, I've had a few beers and i don't remember exactly, but it sounds like a song that wasn't made for a commercial.
Well guys I found the band and song name. It's called Mister Sister by The Tender Box. I found their myspace when I looked up the lyrics on google. Here's the website where you can listen to the song: http://www.myspace.com/tenderbox. It said their album is due out for a February 2006 release. So that must be soon? Anyways, enjoy guys. And goodjob Tender box if you ever read this.
