Cadillac's New Stars Commercial
It's titled Turn You On, and it has Kate Walsh in strappy heels accelerating in her new 2008 Cadillac STS. But that's not the cool part. The commercial ends with the intro to Stars, a song from the band Hum, which was popular at the University of Illinois - Champaign back in the mid-90's.
Not the song you would expect in a Cadillac commercial, as it's about a not quite with it girl who missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars. Still, the commercial is cool, and a bit nostalgic, and if you haven't heard the song before, it fits the commercial well.
I guess it's a better commercial than I Hate It Too, which would fit more into a car wreck commercial.

"morning gray ignites a twisted mess of foreign shapes and soundsYeah - that wouldn't work. Neither would the tagline.
i wish the ceiling was the ground"
"if we break off gently in slow motion, spinning outward into space
my hand always floating gently at the wheel while you sweetly hold my face"
...and she don't hold me right, she's never going to get me there...Sounds more like a Jaguar commercial, with the whole not getting there theme, presumably because your Jag is getting worked on (pre-Ford of course).
not tonight.

sweet commercial, sweeter car, sweeter song.
Strangely enough, I was listening to this song about a week before I saw the commercial. I nearly jumped out of my chair because I had never heard this song anywhere but on a cd I have.
anonymous, was it the discovery sampler by chance?
Driving a "Caddi" feels just like droppin' acid whn you were a kid! That's my tag line!
