NBC Olympics 2004

[James.Aguilar]

The music that I'm looking for was in an ad sponsered by a car company and the olympics in a Regal Cinemas theater during "The Twenty" (which is Regal's pre-trailer advertisement block). The song was punk rock of some sort, not particularly fast, but very upbeat. The advertisement itself featured olympic athletes practicing for the games, then being interrupted and getting in their cars and driving to pick up other athletes.

If anyone knows what song this is, or has a link or an e-mail address for someone who could tell me, please post it. Thank you.

Its the commercial on NBC where there is this swimmer on a boat and she dives off into the water and leaves the guy on the boat. After she dives this energetic song comes on. Anyone know what song this is?

Is it the same ad being described here?

I glanced through NBC' s Olympics site, but I don't think those video clips are actually ads.

I work at a theatre, so I hear it every five minutes. I need to know what it is before I go crazy.

Thanks,

[michelle]

can you describe the song?

 

[LydianSirene]

It sounds a little Punk Rock, definitely male singers. The commercial features a female swimmer, male gymnist, runner, weight lifter, and their cars.

Its a fast pace song

Okay, when I cross-referenced Olympics-Chevy's-and Natalie Coughlin you come up with Caravan to Athens. Ta-da! The song is called


C'mon C'mon

by

Von Bondies.

[Precious]

Hi, the song I want can be found at this link Click on Road To Athens

Under that link the song is the one played during the first swimmers part, and her name is Natalie Coughan.

Ive wanted to know this title forever, please help.

 

[michelle]

I'm guessing you are talking about the "Meet Gary the Lifeguard" ad?

 

[Precious]

Nope, the "Road To Athens" Ad.


EDIT.

 

[givemfitz]

It's "C'mon C'mon" by the Von Bondies.

And we have a new leader as O'Fortuna falls to second.

[givemfitz]

There's this commercial where this song comes on, its a commercial about the olympics or something and if I'm correct, I think it's sung by the Dave Matthews Band...it goes "Baby there's something about you, that i can't let you go" or something like that, can someone name the song for me?

I'm looking for this song too. The artist sounds like Dave Matthews, or Hootie & the Blowfish, or Counting Crows or even U2. Tried to search by lyrics, but not getting the right song. I may not have them exactly right, but I think that the lyrics start out "Baby, there's something about the way" and the chorus goes "it's been a long time coming". Ad visuals are crowd shots of olympic audiences over the years. Not sure which company ad is for (not too effective, huh!). Anyway, the song is great....any ideas who/what it might be?
