This song was voted the #1 song in the Triple J Hottest 100 countdown in the last week. The weirdness must be catchy to many.

Now that it's been voted #1, it'll pop up in heaps of different ads. Most of the popular songs debut on Triple J get played for several months, then get picked up by Nova, Hit(whatever it is now) and then get flogged to death as new music. I used to listen to Triple J, but tuned out when rap became too much.

Yes, catchy tune, big 'BUT', like all car TV adverts these days, what does it tell you about the car. SFA ?
Examples ………… Fords 'where do babies come from ?" and the one where one bloke seems to be telling his best mate why he isn't invited to his wedding. The twerp driving a Toyota HRV (?) while bopping to a teeny song. If that is not a good example of inattentive driving, I'l buy a new MG SUV. And the two Corollas chasing each other around a roundabout. (Should start a thread about stupid, uninformative car ads.) |

I prefer singers who actually sing and not just talk along to a catchy tune

Or do you jump on the interwebs after seeing a piece of advertising to find out more about a car? There are multiple layers in the marketing funnel... Awareness, Intention, Consideration, Conversion... A TV campaign fitting in all those stages in this day and age is silly...each funnel should have a campaign that is native to it... A TV campaign attracting broad awareness doesnt have to have as much information as a BTL campaign in the consideration stage. |

But then I failed to understand Holden's adverts, such as the Colorado vs The Goat, Mum's crowd surfing at a pop concert (Equinox), how to get out of an Arcadia, and how to steal a painting using various SUV's. None of these made me want to research the internet, or entice me to walk into a Holden dealer to find out more. |

And not many people were convinced by Holden's campaign to "let's go there".

Whether the ad says anything at all about the vehicle is completely irrelevant to the vast majority of the buying public, if it's catchy and memorable then people will always relate it to the product, case in point.....

The whole point of a tv commercial is to get your attention. Its about making you be able to remember the brand or product later without actually realising it. All about getting in to your subconscious. That is why many successful ads don't actually say too much in the ad itself, or are very detailed about the actual product. Keeping it simple is the most efficient way. Or making it memorable. The reason it is memorable doesn't really matter. Many criticised Ford's 'walking fingers' ad, and yet how many people even today remember that ad? An ad isn't designed to make you do something you weren't already thinking of doing. If you aren't in the market for a car, no ad in the world is suddenly going to make you buy a car. That's not how it works. These days its just about creating brand awareness.

Yeah, sure the song was bad, but lets not get too carried away.

These are the walking fingers ads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDFHZZpzM9U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkMsx9_Td4o The best Falcon ad IMO is the BA "Can't get enough of this" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDaLxN5FIjE This one for the Ecoboost Falcon should have made it to TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjvXhsBeyBE

Maybe for everyone else, but in the video she does come with the Cruiser, she's Lee's wife Robyn McKelvie.
