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:

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...
