I wish I could sing like that...

I finally found it!

Years ago, there was an ad on TV that I loved. Why? Well - it had a great car, some great camera work, a great song, and a very memorable tag line.

It was the Mitsubishi Pajero ad that we called the 'I wish I could sing like that' ad. It used to come on all the time - but somehow I never managed to record it (back in the VHS days).

I have tried to find a copy on the net quite a few times over the years since. I even went as far as to contact Mitsubishi - but no one could find me a copy.

I did learn that the song is called 'Rush' by Big Audio Dynamite - and that the song actually includes the ‘I wish I could sing like that’ part.

Anyway - as I am currently seriously thinking about buying myself a Pajero (although an earlier model than in this ad) I decided to take another look - and this time I finally found something!

The ad was created by http://www.zoomfilmtv.com.au/ - and they have it for download (at least, if you hack the structure of their website)!

http://www.zoomfilmtv.com.au/tvcs/toia/movs/mitsu_pajero_naturecalling.mov - very nice quality, but it’s 20mb. If you want to watch it in lower res, try here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUeMnGUd1LE (far lower quality though)

It’s amazing how much you can enjoy something so simple as this when you’ve been looking for it for years.

Err yes, I wish I could sing like that...

Ah yes, it has been a while, but I do recall this ad. It's been a while since it's been on though, hasn't it! Although singing like that is easier than you think...

Also, when do you plan on telling the good people about aforementioned car hunt, not that I'm not informed or anything...

And this whole time i'm wondering how they got that car there, and i'd hate to be the one to reverse it back off that cliff.

I mean, just look at it. there's cliffs on all sides. I'd be worried about going there at all let alone sticking a 2 tone car on it.
