"Why buy a car when you can buy a far more expensive, gas guzzling, insurance hugging, ugly, huge, monster of mass destruction."

[TurkeyburgerDLX]

I agree with Señor DePompo. It sounds like "Glass Tiles" by Mist and Mast

[TurkeyburgerDLX]

I agree with Señor DePompo. It sounds like "Glass Tiles" by Mist and Mast

[BoskoDePompo]

Sounds a lot, A LOT like a song by Mist and Mast. I mean, A LOT.

[RussianBreed]

anyone know the song?

[Timberpants]

@RussianBreed it was composed specifically for the advert.

Title: Hand

Composer: Dan Peppe

Artist: Dan Peppe & Jon Collyer

Publisher: Finger Music

[BoskoDePompo]

@Timberpants Actually the title is "Glass Tiles" by Mist and Mast, from their self-titled album.

[Timberpants]

@BoskoDePompo Thanks for the pointer. I have now listened to Glass Tiles and agree the strum sounds really similar but it is missing the bum notes ... which for me is what makes it a special 30 seconds of sound

[Jazzyhorn111]

@Timberpants Ok You all Here it is;;; that tune or music is STUPID sounding a lot of us HATE it, its just soo funky STUPID IO wish it would go away. Its one of those commercials I hate. Land rover AWSOME 4X4 AWSOME I need one to tour people down here in the Atchafalaya BASIN property. But FORD 250/ 350 those are the machines we use.

[BoskoDePompo]

@RussianBreed The song that this track apparently pays homage to is called "Glass Tiles" and it's by Mist and Mast.

[NicoPSC100]

nice car

[Noobury]

EXPENSIVE!

[nello86]

I thought I was the only one who loved this music, it is perfect for the awesome commercial, love the sound

[ViolentKisses87]

Anyone have any details on that house at :07

I want to know more about it O.o

[Timberpants]

@ViolentKisses87  only that it is in the Barcelona suburbs.

[ViolentKisses87]

@Timberpants Thanks very much any detail is better than no detail at all

I like what I can see oh the home so much so that i'd like to see what other ideas the designer had for the rest of the home..

[ViolentKisses87]

Anyone have any details on that house

I want to know more about it O.o

[reddoogan]

It almost sounds like "Shaker" from Yo La Tengo.

[NewTinsley]

@reddoogan Exactly what I thought

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

Hey guys I am looking to purchase this song however I am at a loss as to how to get it. I have my spaced the two composers or artists (different titles according to different website) - Dan Peppe and Jon Collyer but neither has a profile same with facebook. I dont work for the FBI so im shit at tracking people down and have run out of ideas. Anyone know how to get this song/ contact the artist?

[BoskoDePompo]

@CHEESYhairyGASH  You can pick up the original song that this was ripped off from on Mist and Mast's self titled album. The name of the track is Glass Tiles.

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

@BoskoDePompo thank you

[lightningattack1]

Listen to the song by Led Zeppelin bron-y-aur-stomp. At 3:23 into the Led Zeppelin song, there is almost a perfect sync with the land rover commercial. I can't post the Led Z. link here, but just type in bron-y-aur-stomp

[lightningattack1]

hahahaha

[mcsofserv]

Complete rip-off of MIst & Mast song. Shame on whoever did that!!!

[Timberpants]

@mcsofserv (and others) I agree it does sound similar .. but it is only a couple of chords so a good chance this was just a coincidence. Also Mist & Mast are unknown in the UK so would be unlikely that the composer would have heard the track (although I admit not impossible). For me it is not the chord strumming that makes it a great piece of advert music but the bum notes that sync to the action.

[delco714]

@Timberpants you've gotta be retarded or supremely ignorant to believe it was coincidental

[Timberpants]

@delco714 you are welcome to your opinion (and to express it in this thread) ... mine remains that it's a coincidence.

[LegShowMagazine]

@mcsofserv "Glass Tiles" (song name)

[jloakland]

wow, it is a total ripoff of glass tiles by mist and mast.

mistandmast. com/mp3/glasstiles.mp3

[breanacanton1]

This song is a rip off of Mist and Mast's original "glass tiles" ... on the self titled album.

[sportsboy940]

What is the song

[sportsboy940]

Anyone know the song???

[Ssssupermom]

@sportsboy940

MRS Robinson.."wed like to know a little bit about you for our files"

[oogie11]

Good song

[TheLemonAid]

I never knew you could make adverts on the iPhone...

[COCHIAIRWAYS]

why get a car when you can get a land rover?

yeah that's true! but if you have the same life as that guy does... you can have a normal sedan

land rovers are the awesomest off road going cars on the world... so... why is that disco 4 going only in tarmac?

[UltraFlashlight]

Bummer. I was really looking forward putting this song on my mp3. :( They should totally make a whole song out of this thirty second clip. Even without vocals it would still be fantastic.

[politburo]

aww how cute, and only 300 gallons to the mile.

[Timberpants]

@politburo I can consistently get 30mpg from the diesel

[coltsfan1948]

Sounds like a take off of "these Boots Were Made For Walking"

[legslenny]

it sounds very much like canned heat on the road again, i know its not before anyone has a go

[mrfreetube2009]

simon an garf, got that. maybe a little tito and tarantula ???

[tpntx]

@Themuskspreader

no way. Don't hear that riff at all. Man was Simon trying to be Dylon back then or what?

[PeperamisTasteGreat]

i was in the hotel at 0:21! LOL. They didn't let us out until later or out the back lol

[ReevieSenior]

the beat to me sounds alot like these boots are made for walking. try listening to that.

[tpntx]

its the beat to psychotic reaction but I can't find who this is covering it.

[tpntx]

@aftertheletterz

im trying to find too. I've heard the song or at least that riff before. One of of the heard it got to have it tunes

[gaztheman]

@aftertheletterz

The tune sounds like it's a re-hash of "mrs robinson" by simon and garfunkel... If it's not then the composer has borrowed HEAVILY from it, since the riff sounds almost identical... I like this version though.

[nmichave]

Whats the song?

[Timberpants]

It was composed for the ad .. I love the bum notes!

[icetman]

@nmichave Just got a reply from Landrover:

Thank you for contacting the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center.

We appreciate your inquiry. The song in the LR4 commercial was composed specifically for Land Rover.

[SPERANZA146]

The guy in this advert is my brother George..Luv him to bits !

[zashima]

apple called - they want their finger back!...

[Timberpants]

:-)

[mooboo123451]

looks good but more like the range rover than now. I'll stick with wanting a '98 disco i think.

[dddddddgggggggggg]

Discovery is catching up with the range rover easily lol
