Honda Civic Hybrid "Mix"

IF ANYONE HAS AN AT&T WIRELESS PHONE, AND YOU SEE THIS COMMERICAL, DIAL #43 AND PUT THE PHONE UP TO THE SPEAKERS.
AT&T Wireless offers a service, powered by MusicPhone, which will listen and then Text Message you the title and artist of what you are listening to. Try it! You get 1 free try, and it's $.99 for every try after that. Anyone know what channels it is being shown on now? Because I haven't seen it on in a few days.
 
i've seen it on my local WB affiliate when i watch the simpsons at 6 and 7. hope is growing dim for finding out the name of that damn song...
 
I saw it on FOX tonight as well. I'm just going to Tivo fox again tonight for a couple of hours, like from 8pm-1am and scan through it. If it comes on, I am going to use my AT&T thing and call #43 and see that will identify the song
 
Well everyone, it came on today and I had it on Tivo!!! So I played it back for my AT&T Musicphone #43 feature, and first it came back as "reiputa" by Lisa Gerrard. However, when I looked it up on iTunes, the song does not sound that same.
 
Hm... I checked out "reiputa"... that can't be it...

Btw that link is really awesome... I trimmed out the voice and looped it for now :)
 
I think I found it! It is the beginning of Dylan's KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR. Go to iTunes and check it out. Clearly it's not from the original recording, but I think it's taken from the song. Let me know what you think.

I have way too much time on my hands...
 
Actually..I think the guitar in this song is taken from a song called 'Snowblind' by the band Fudge. They put an album out called "The Ferocious Rhythm of Precise Laziness".

...Even if it isn't, it's a great song that everyone should check out anyhow :P
 
Check this out...it may be a bit out there but..here goes...
Imagine the ad exec, sitting in front of his G5...a tune pops to mind...what is it? I know it!...I must USE it! He opens garage band...just to tinker...just to play...he translates the tune...simply...minimalistically...boom...there it is...an emotional rollercoaster in a spot...what IS that tune?... I'll tell you what it is...That's Why They Call it the Blues-Elton John...check it out and let me know if I'm just nuts or what?...
 
A friend of a friend did some research, and here's what she came up with:

--------------
Well I talked to the people at RPA and they told me they had 3 hybrid commercials out there, all with original music. 2 were composed by Josh Ralph who goes by J. Ralph he has an album or two out. He also was also put on the map by getting a song on a Volkswagon commercial that was pretty popular. The third commercial was also original music done by HUM  but I don’t know who it was composed by.
--------------

I'm going to try and describe the commercial in more detail and see if we can't get more specific - but it does look like a custom piece of music that's not likely to appear on an album anytime soon - and it looks like J. Ralph is the responsible party. That said, I've re-constituted it in Garageband and should have some thing I can post in a few days.

Cheers.
 
We don't allow file sharing of songs. I don't think the original composer would appreciate you copying their song in garageband and passing it out.

Try emailing J Ralph and asking him if he did the music -- he's a nice guy and will probably answer you telling you which ad his music is in.

This is not the commercial you are asking about, but after looking at the humit.com web site -- there is a great song in the Honda Civic "Beach" commercial. I emailed them to ask what it is -- I wrote:

Hi Debbie,

Great work you guys do. I'm a commercial photographer and I know it
takes a lot of work to put together photo shoots -- commercials are a
much larger scale.

The question I have is who did & what is the music for the Honda "Beach"
commercial -- In the REEL section on your website - 9th square from the
left in the Music section.

~ it's the one where the guy is walking along distracted by the girls
playing volleyball and he walks into the car -- it's great music and I'd
like to buy the cd if it's available.

----------------
I'll post their reply if I get one, unless someone else recognizes the song & artist.


EDIT --
I did a bit of searching the web -- the song is Ocean Man by WEEN.
