  • LOVE THIS!!! :D

  • The power of dreams!

  • This will be in my head for the rest of the day... I love it.

  • i remeber this from 2004 awww brings back good memoires

  • until 1:25 i had no fucking idea what this was all about

  • Thumbs up if you whistle to the whistling bits :D

  • I almost forgot how good this advert was when it aired on TV :)

  • I loved this ad when it came out. My ex husband didn't, though... don't know why! :-P

  • This song inspired Cho to shoot up Virginia Tech

  • My favourite ad of all time

  • Honda make the best dammed adverts

  • Omg! I cant believe i havent heard this on TV

    My friend said it was catchy as hell and he was right! :D

  • 16 people HATE this video and won't CHANGE their opinions.

  • I actually had this cd i got it free when i bought a Honda

  • In the key of... grrrrr

  • Nice advert, shame about the song.

  • Thanks for posting this.I got an african grey parrot called BJ that joins in with the wistling and even says (sing it like you hate it) BJ learned it from the tv add, because the add hasn,t been on tv for ages i had to play it on guitar. so funny to see bj now listening to the original. cheers.

  • i love adverts like this, where instead of butchering a well-loved song, the companies write their own song thats awesome

  • why am i intrigued by this add? and wot the hell has it got to do with cars??

  • ohhh classic just started singing this for some reason

  • done in the key of grr...=D

  • We had to watch this about 5 times in English and was singing it all the way through RE and French. *laughs*

  • Anyone want to try help me with the chords to this? I have G & C as the primary chords, and A7 & D7 for the "oh, isn't it just bliss" part. The only bit I'm stugling with is the sort of "bup bup" part immediately before the chorus. I've been told it's B based but I'm not convinced. Any thoughts?

  • @FiferSheep

    the "bup bup" part is an F# and an F plucked only from the fifth to the second string

    you play the G and than "bup bup" :D

  • @023222323

    F# and F barre chords

  • @023222323

    I think I love you!! :D

  • @FiferSheep hahaha

  • Comment removed

  • be nice to the pigeons.

  • A double rainbow... but... WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

  • i dont know what brought me onto this, could it be fate, or is subliminal advertising finally catching up with me

  • Good but not as good as The Cog, but better than Choir

  • This Is Weird

  • @robertcuthbertson123 ...weird but awesome. ;]

  • In the key of "grrrrr" :')

  • DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY

  • I personally think this is THE best ever advert ;D .."Hate somthing.. baaabaa.. Change something baaabaa"

  • OMG DOUBLE RAINBOW

  • were the makers on yage or something?

  • God i miss this advert it was like the best one EVER :)

  • people watch this when their high lol jk

  • Best advert EVER

  • Uhh... Hate something, change something? Not a good thing when a madman adopted this...

    Hitler hated jews, he tried to change it...

  • oh my god haven't thought about this in years, just RANDOMLY popped into my head

  • cant believe it was that long ago :L

  • This was my favourite advert when it came out! Haven't seen it for years!

  • Great engines these; not really as economical as they'd suggest by still great...

  • i couldnt agree more on the catchyness......still love these adverts today......specially the new updated "impossible Dream" advert.....gives me reason to smile that a company is trying to do something to make this plant a much better place for us all to live in. I just cant wait for someone to perfect the Hydrogen fuel engine then all the states made on taxes for fuel will be well and truly screwed !!!!

  • Hate something change something make something betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • *LOL* I haven't heard this for aaaaages but somehow could whistle along straight away!!!! Great advert!

  • greenwashing on the highest level

  • They made this advert to convert the import hating racist American republican type of person who may support groups like the neo-nazis or white power groups. LOL JK! Or am I!?

  • "Hmm, Hate is a good thing"

  • Icycle rocks :D!

  • catchy and i have to listen to this so much for my english coursework :L

  • Diesels still stink. You can polish a turd but it will still be a turd. Petrol will always be superior. BOO HONDA.

  • Well, urm, Diesel is better, you can get many more miles to the gallon than petrol, but it's not as powerful

  • spastic ^

  • Electromagnetism > Combustion.

  • @Davez621

    Hehehe absolutely, Diesel is gay despite the TDI fanfare, it still suck and pollute big time.

  • my dog loves this song.

  • This always makes me happy when I hear it

    hehe ; )

  • Just because its bright and happy doesn't mean it's "gay"

  • @deatharch

    Um, in the original meaning of the word, yes it does.

  • hahah very true lol

  • but you did put " around the word gay, meaing you meant the word gay to mean homosexual so yeah ia gree wiht you

  • @deatharch yes it does. gay still means happy to me.

  • @MaartenCanters No it doesn't. You're not old enough for gay to still mean happy. When somebody says gay the first thing that comes into your mind is homosexual.

  • @Jackcreambun Oh? You judge someone by age? How sad. I think we're done talking. Come back if you've found any useful arguments.

  • @Jackcreambun You still don't know. Come back when you've learned to mature.

  • so great :)

  • heres a song for any one whos ever hated in the key of grr can hate be good can hate be great can hate be something we dont hate wed like to know why it is so that certain diesels must be slow and clack and thrum and bong and hum and clatter clack hate somethin change somethin hate somethin change somethin make somethin better oh isnt it just bliss when a diesle gos like this sing it like you hate it hate somethin change somethin hate somethin change somethin make somethin better

    Honda

  • i love this advert

  • Garrison Keilor?

  • Wikipedia says, "Yep."

  • i like this! :)

  • i hate this!! x->♥

  • you know i used to hate and love this advert with equal measure lol :D

  • NO WAY has it been 3 years ^^

  • Hate something.... change something... hate something, change something, MAKE SOMETHING BETTER!!!

    Great lol! :-D

  • sweet... :)

  • Amazing ad! Great job Honda, as usual!!

  • This advert rules!

  • The best ad i've ever seen

  • Just Jizzed My Pants!!

  • i cant stop whistling~♥♥♥

  • love this!

  • lol in the key of grrr!

    =]

    love this vid!

  • The song is called: the grr song

  • Anyone got a download link? I wants this for ringtone =]

  • I love this advert. I was obsessed when it came out. I was going around singing it all the tme. One of my all time favourite adverts. :-)

  • My favourite advert. Followed closely in second place by another Honda ad, the rolling cogs one :D could watch them both for hours, true pieces of art.

  • I'll believe this, when engines fly.....

    hahahaha

  • i have a cd with this on :)

  • Where did you get it? Send me a copy please!!! :)

  • cool advert, HONDA have such great ads, not boring but catchy and entertaining. love it!

  • Be nice to the pigeons are awesome :)

  • Although this is a great engine.

    NOTHING has the heritage, sound and appeal of a PETOL ENGINE.

    ESPECIALLY I-VTEC.

  • sang this for MONTHS when it first came out! lol cant deny the catchyness

  • Me 2!

    I still sing it now!

  • "in the key of Grrrrrr" haha love it!

  • THIS IS THE BEST!

  • My boyfriend just reminded me of this advert. I loved it...found myself singing it all the time and it didn't get annoying! I think its a really positive message. and if you look its not really trying to sell anything specifically its more like a honda mission statement in a lovely little song.

  • is this Garrison Keillor?

  • sounds that way, doesn't it?

  • the cynic in me says they're taking advantage of poeples dissent to promote their cars....not to mention that its sickenly well made and they've channelled so much creativity into selling cars....which to me is the opposite of art...hmmm, but thats my opinion theres no need for anyone to take anything from it!

  • "channelled so much creativity into selling cars... which to me is the opposite of art" WTF!?!

  • Why should an advert not be artistic? Art does not have any rules, you can't say something isn't artistic because it sells something...what about pieces of art that you have to buy...do they cease to be art because its selling something...and any way its not actually selling a specific car just disel! i think you need to lose the cynic in you, cos its kind of missing the point!

  • i like it when the sun sets the engine on fire XD

  • I'm not sure it really makes any sense to hate an engine.

    Or hate the people who make them.

    People can channel their rage in positive directions without actually going all the way to hating physical objects.

    Hate's not so great.

  • wow, you might want to watch it again a few times until you get the point:

    Hate something ? Change something! Make something better!

    the whole point of the ad is saying "If you hate something. do something about it and change it to make it better!" The song is completely about channelling in a positive direction.

    The ad is based on the technician at Honda who hated that diesel engines were always noisy, so he designed one that wasn't!!

    You should be making a t-shirt out of it.

  • wtf. it only it wasn't a commercial. love the imagery and lyrics.

  • You can get this on cd you know! You get a free one when you buy a car from Honda, but i'm sure Amazon sell a copy, or eBay, or Limewire have one you can download. Still, it exists as a track!

  • a fine frenzy twittered this.

  • This was my fave advert :)

    Advert.

  • my favourite advert ever

  • You're not sad, you just have good taste :-p

  • Sad as it may seem, I think this is my favorite advert ever. And as a media studies student, I've seen alot of adverts.

  • What about the Honda Cog advert, surely you like that more than this?

  • Nah, this one's more trippy. The cog advert may be cool, but does it have Hammer wielding Penguins?

  • true,  true

  • omg i love the honda cog ad!!! that is my favourite advert ever.

  • i do like the honda adverts they have been doing so far, there the only ones that make the car look like you can't live without won which i hate, and this is a work of CGI art in its own right.

    fantastic song, trying to find the full version if anyone can help

  • sorry "don;t make the car look like you cant live without it"

    my mistake

  • interestingly, no-one sedems to want to know who the vocalist/composer is! Well..I want to, so, does anyone know? Also, I would imagine this is for the western market..does anyone have a version for the asian market?

  • Be nice to the pigeons

  • garrison keillor

  • this the best song in an advert ever

  • interesting... i got this link from a sims custom content site... interesting advertising. i haven't seen the like of it.

  • loveeeeeeeeeeee itttttttttttttttttt

  • The new Honda diesel engines are quieter more refined and more economical with better emissions and economy.

  • id really like to know the chords for this? can someone give me the chords for guitar? please? jsut chords i cant quite get it

  • you just dont see ads like this anymore, at least not where i live

  • everytime it came on i started to whistle

  • In the key of grrrrrrrr!

    Love it!

  • Catchy tune,you've got to admit that Honda do just about everything to a certain degree of excellence!Even their advertising!

  • All adverts are awful, obviously... but Honda produces some of the least awful.

  • lol great. this ad is in its own class!

    I can remember when i fist saw this on TV.we were all like 'wtf' at first

    but im going to have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day now!

  • Sing it like you hate it!

    Garrison Keillor was the perfect choice for this song! Very well done ad, I was laughing the whole time!

  • Onomatopoeia..
