Nissan Xterra 2005

[Cornqueef LaBeef]

Great new tune I heard on a Nissan Xterra commerical - heard for first time 3/7/05. The lyrics to this hard driving rock tune "Stay where you are, and youwill not make a difference..." Might be "Stay AS you are..."

Found nothing via Google except an article in adweek stating thatit was music by local LA band.

Not The Vines "rock with me"

Nothing via search here...

Lots of sports type visuals during commercial - Kayaking, and other Xtreme type sporting revelry.

Please help - much thanks!

The band is Norwegian - they're called Span, and the song is Stay as You Are.

I can't find the album on Amazon, but here's the Allmusic link:

There seems to be two conflicting posts/answers to questions about the new Nissan Xterra ad. Same ad (Kayaks, running other XSports type stuff)

The lyric I can make out to this rockin' tune is "Stay as you are"


One post give the answer as: The group Span, song "Stay as you are"

Other post answers as: The group Bellrays, song "Revolution Get Down"

Am I confused?

There are currently THREE different ads airing for the Nissan Xterra 2005.

One uses 'Revolution Get Down' by THE BELLRAYS. Another, 'Stay As You Are' by SPAN. And the third features 'High As The Ceiling' by STEREOPHONICS.

The first poster says they couldn’t find Norway’s Span’s CD “Mass Distraction” on Amazon, well, here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...0644998-2909737

Also on Half.Com: http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid...001&pr=46700489

This is a very limited 2 CD Edition (ONLY 5000 Copies) that is AWESOME. The only thing better than the full version of “Stay as you Are” is the other 24 songs on this release!! Thank you Nissan for spinning the globe!
