Hummer H3

[Shatterpoint]

anybody know the band that does the funky remake of a classical song? it's featured in the Hummer H3 commercial where the truck parallel parks. i wish i knew what the title of the original classical piece, best i can say is Mudvayne comes out on stage to it....

i haven't been pestered by a song in a commercial for a while, nothing really exciting. to be honest with you, i don't remember why i stopped posting here, i seem to lose interest in forums in general over time...

the commercial is available at hummer.com, under the hummer world section...


[edit] as i actaully looked at the commercials page it had the song title and composer on it, DUH

song: Also Sprach Zarathustra
artisit: Richard Strauss

Got it. It's "Thus Spach Tharathustra." The theme to "2001 A Space Odyssey."

EDIT-On second thought it may be the part called "Also Spach Tharathustra." It's definately on the soundtrack though.

Yes and the version they use is Deodato's 1973 hit.

This apparently is ANOTHER Hummer H3 commercial. I know the piece is a remake of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" from 2001: A Space Odyssey". I just need to know the artist that did it. I thought, at first, it was "Switched on Bach" because they have remade a lot of classical music with a pop sound.

Thanks,
Lou

LOL

I'm actually replying to my own post...

After a bit of internet digging...I found the artist!

Turns out it was Deodato - he recorded the tune in 1973. It was on the Billboard Top 100 chart during part of that year.

Please consider the question answered!
