Speaking of stupid car ads...
The Dandy Warhols, have a song, rather old now, called Bohemian Like You which is more or less a song about trying to hit onto some hipster chick.
It was reasonably popular and I actually rather like it. Great song for dancing like an idiot to first thing in the morning via your clock radio.
Anyway, in the spirit of car ads that completely miss the point, in Oz, Holden used said song a few years ago as the background theme for one of the small cars in their range. The song has about 30 seconds of instrumental before the lyrics kick in, the first line being
'You Got a Great Car!'
Sounds perfect for a car ad, right?
Well... only if you have never heard the actual song, for the very next line is,
'Yeah what's wrong with it today?'
Arrrr - Marketing :)
