Miles Davis Honda Scooter Ad

[boiledrootbeer]

WTF? Miles, you can jam, Man. But this shit? 

[bjroberts65]

Miles Davis could sell poop on a a stick.

[donatellaversace]

Never realized that scooters could be so "edgy". I remember that these commercials came on during Radio 1990.

[jvlivs2]

Man, I had forgotten ALL about this commercial-it's been many moons!

[flipty651]

[sepusi]

WH IS TH model?

[SlickvicOTC]

This is the Elite 250.  This version was only produced from 1985-1988.

[obruchez]

The original chatter from "If I Were a Bell" (October 26, 1956) is a bit different ("I'll play it and tell you what it is later"). But it's obviously based on that chatter.

[BrettCelinski]

This video is actually the first time I've heard Miles' voice and I've been listening to his music for years. Weird.

[ebruchez]

Miles's voice is one of his most distinctive features :-) You can hear Miles on some recordings (e.g. You're Under Arrest) and in concert (when he would introduce or address address his musicians through the Mike of this trumpet, usually with just a few words).

[hvijayan]

there's a terrific bit of miles speaking at the end of Circle on 'Miles Smiles' - just after he finishes his last solo, the music has barely stopped before he says [i think to Teo Macero, who was producer on that record] 'see how that sounds Teo'. For a while after I first heard it, i thought he'd said 'see how that sounds to you...' - as if to say he knew just how good those last lingering notes were.

[hatebush123]

@hvijayan Thank you! been dying to figure out what he says there.

[leoshephard]

Wow... Miles can make even a Honda Scooter look cool.

[satinhooks]

[nyceonthabass]

Well, I just had to save it for 20+ years, then wait for YouTube to be invented. . no big deal! It's great to have it be seen finally.

[beestube76]

Miles Is the Man!!!!

[monimania]

Dang!! I remember these ads I have an 86 Honda scooter aero 50!!!!!!

[soviettankenator]

I don't get what it has to do with scooters, but it's still awesome.

[jwalkam]

It means that the scooter is coool!!!

[fistfulofmercury]

It was one of Miles' catchphrases when he played live.

[Noblefinger]

Miles is great. Period.

[jlim2397]
