    In reply to The Chevy Volt Song: No, We're Not Kidding
    Helpful Hint: If you're going to do a song about a car that makes people want to jam an icepick in their ears,
    at least try to make it catchy.

    Woah. Anyone remember when pretty much every car had a theme song of sorts?

    @RoboRed loves his virtual G8 GXP: So did I. One of my earliest TV memories was back in the days when GM built a half decent truck and backed it up with that catchy tune.

    I was actually under the false impressions that GM built better trucks then Ford. Then, I came into possession of a 1994 Chevrolet K2500 loaded to the max with a 350 and a 5spd. Then, after many thousands of dollars and hours of pain later, I bought a 1990 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat and never looked back.

    I'm not going to listen to it.

    Heads up, GM - if you overdo the hype and the car isn't fucking FANTASTIC, you'll look like dickheads, and we'll be the infuriated taxpayers who kept the dickheads employed and overpaid. Play your cards a little closer.

    When it hit the charts, Weird Al's song White and Nerdy, a spoof of Chamillionaire's Ridin Dirty, took off like a rocket. People called Chamillionaire and congratulated him on his great take on Weird Al's song. The official Youtube view count for Ridin Dirty stands at about 2.1m views, White and Nerdy is closer to 5 million.

    Without even listening to the song, how long before somebody comes up with something that mocks it, and is way more entertaining?

    Talks about Freedoms. Needs more Dubya.

    But not too terrible an ad, as long as it's not being aimed at us Americans. Would confuse the hell out of my next door neighbors.

    It's an unconventional approach, but given Chrysler's dismal state, why not try something different? RE: What else can they quickly pull off the shelf?

    The question is whether American car buyers give a rip about anything outside their borders. Most probably don't. However, Fiat needs to rebrand Chrysler as a source of internationally flavored cars, and this is a quick and easy way to start changing perceptions.

    Matt, as a taxpayer, my primary concern is getting Chrysler back on its feet. If it takes a foreign ad shop to do it, what's the problem? The Americans had their chance and blew it.

    Burma must be so scared right now, I mean, I would be too if there was an army of 300s, Sebrings, Calibers and Nitros coming to my house.

    This is definitely worse than nukes.

    PS This is a great resolution by the UN to get her released.

    That Lancia commercial is genius. Feign global responsibility by using a convenient martyr from a politically irrelevant country. Emotional pull, sales, ta-da.

    Now if the Dalai Lama or any one of a hundred or so Chinese dissenters was featured in that commercial they'd have a true hot potato on their hands. Not. a. chance.

    I dunno. Cars busting through walls is always cool with me. Just needed to change the music to something badass like AC/DC's "Big Gun", and get rid of the narration

    They should just shorten the ad by a ton and show them getting out of the cars and the narrator says.

    Socialist motivators for the new Socialist Motors. It's extra bad when it's coming from Fiat.
