    Is a cracking ad alright, does anybody know the name of the tune that starts at the end of it ?

    I think the music used at the end of the Honda ad is the same that is some-times used on Soccer A.M. on Spy Sports One on a Saturday morning.

    I went here
    >ads and their songs (pretty good site for unknown music used in ads)

    and it turns out it's "The Sugar Hill Gang - Rappers Delight"

    Fairly certain of it

    Yeah the music when the car radio gets switched on is Rappers Delight.
    This is the best ad around at the moment, when I first saw it I wasnt sure if it was a program or an ad.

    Just in case anyone didnt know, its all real.

    One take, no trickery.

    (560 odd takes over 3 days to get it in the can apparently.)

    Wow, great advert! Worth waiting for it to download!:)

    Find it hard to believe that there was no trickery though! Especially where the balls roll up the path.

    Yeh, thats brilliant. They weighted the tyres and the balls to roll uphill. Very clever.

    Still find it hard to believe that no trickery was used! After reading the report though, I would have hated to be working on it! 606 takes! :eek:

    It has links to some more articles and other interesting related stuff.
