  • This and the VW Singing In The Rain commercials are the best auto commercials I have seen.

  • fuk white ppl

  • Without a doubt!

  • I think lincoln is trying to make there cars look different then vb other luxury cars which they are doing

  • what's the name of the song?

  • a commercial that brings back memories..

  • this is the best car commercial I've ever seen in yearss:)

  • I felt in love with this car, atta way to make advertising I just love it!

  • dude, I've been searching the song for too long

    

  • @CryoKatana97 Major Tom - Shiny Toy Guns

  • I am just boggled that someone in marketing actually thought "Let's associate our brand's car with a sad story of technological failure that kills the pilot/driver!"

    I mean, it's memorable, but is that really where you want people to mentally go when they see your car?

  • @martinsnowploworg No. I think the message is that this car is from outer space and is "extraterrestrial" or something like that. I mean at the beginning the car is like "falling" like a meteor and it crashes into the road. So in a sense it fell from the stars. I mean I don't think the message is that this car is going to get you into a car accident or something.

  • Nice car,great song.Good commercial

  • I love this song best song ever

  • lincoln always had the best commercials

  • This is how you do a car commercial.

  • Shiny Toy Guns FTW!

  • Normally I can't stand remakes of a song that was terrific to begin with, but this version of Major Tom by Shiny Toy Guns ROCKS!

  • I watch this when I want to get the chills!!

  • I miss these days...

  • @TorreyDeep These days? A couple years ago?

  • Freakin love this song!!!! Gotta love Shiny Toy Guns!!! :)

  • It's like Star Trek 2009 when the Enterprise goes to warp for the first time..... but sans the excessive lens flares.

  • Dude I still get goosebumps every time he pushes the gear up.

  • 0:25 Approaching, WARP SPEED!

  • All commercials should be awesome, then I might actually pay attention.

  • awesome commercial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thats part when he shifts gives me chills haha

  • i've been looking for that songo for over a year!!! waths the title?

  • @shadow16559 Major Tom - Shiny Toy Guns

  • This reminds me of Lost. There was this ad while the series finale.

  • It would really have raised eyebrows if they used Peter Schilling's original version in German - "der countdown läuft"! They missed a Fahrvergnügen opportunity.

  • It would have been even better if it panned up near the end and Peter Schilling was driving.

  • Only for the song, Lincoln sold a lot of MKZ´s.....

  • Go look up the original version from the 80's..much better.

  • Whoever chose the song for this commercial should be given a raise. Easily one of the most memorable commercials I've ever seen.

  • u can get used at 15k im gettin rid of my murano for thta mkz soon!

  • Most memorable car commercial I've watched. Two years later and I still enjoy it.

  • WOW!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • this is the best car add I have seen

  • Someone at Lincoln likes Major Tom.

  • Fellow Commercial Lovers,

    4.)Mocean Worker- Tres Tres Chic ( Not on youtube and was in a commercial if you can find it I promise you will love it!)

    Let me know if you like

  • @Orangebike666 Awesome!! Thanks each one lol

  • Damn, this car and this song seem to fit just perfectly! Love the song and the car is beautiful! And a machine too!

  • This song always reminds me of TRON: LEGACY

  • Lincoln paid Digital Domain well over a MILLION DOLLARS to make this 30 second spot.

  • @southport97 Money well spent :)

  • Comment removed

  • STOP PROJECT MK ULTRA!!

  • @lolesus where are the mk ultra references in this commercial?

  • waitaminute... in the song, the rocket malfunctions ("there's something wrong") and major tom never gets home. I don't want to buy a car like that! D:

  • @shinegrove but I thought it says that he's coming home in the end...?

  • This commercial reminds me of all the fun times watch the Pens games during the playoffs outside the mellon arena. Let's go pens!

  • I saw this commercial a lot this past summer and every time it came on I HAD to stop and watch. Like with anything though, the best tends to be the most underrated. The Lincoln MKZ is what a car SHOULD be.

  • Love it , greetz from europe

  • Wow, this is literally the best car commercial I've ever seen.

  • @sallyman143 I agree with you, it is so great so exciting

  • @sallyman143 Too bad all it tells me about the car is that its shiny

  • @AserHapi What else do you REALLY need to know!!!!!

  • personally im a chevy person but this commercial is a beast

  • Even though I'm not a big fan of American cars, I must say that the U.S. made automobile commercial ads are the most appealing and creative..It would make people watching them want to go out and buy one, even though, in reality the foreign autos(German and Japanese) are better engineered.

  • @GTnumber1 no i disagree, i think american ones are boring, this one is an exception though. Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes make the best ones

  • @GTnumber1 then why is the new mustang just as good as the bmw m3?mon the track and the m3 was over 70k

  • @mustang661c Before we get into further detail of this discussion, I'll let you know that I have been an Advanced ASE Certified Auto Mechanic for the past 16 years until present, so when you present your points to me, you'll have to be tip top and on point with what you're saying...So tell me, what do you mean when you say the new Mustang(I'm assuming you're talking about the 5.4L) is "just as good" as the Bmw M3?....I'm all ears.....

  • @GTnumber1 clearly your behind since you haven't heard that modular v8s have been replaced with the new coyote 5.0.

  • @GTnumber1 haha ofcourse the american car companies will have better commercials, america is the top propaganda nation in the world. we even have a profession in propaganda thats highly respected. and i do agree with you german and japanies cars are definitely better engineered than american. but american car lines do have pretty good quality to it also just not as much

  • They spent a shitload of money to have Digital Domain make this.

  • i wanna go 2 space now

  • great advert!

  • This advertisement is really great, but the end comes too quickly it should have lasted 10 seconds more...

  • The commercial sounds better on TV, especially with the surround effect. Still love it tho, they did a nice editing of the song to fit the anumation.

  • first tones remind me man overboard by blink182

  • @13checkeredwings fuck you commie

  • The only version of this commercial I ever saw on TV only had the refrain.

  • Too bad the back of the car is not as good as the front and the side. The front and the side have a European look, but the back clearly shows it is an American design and thus less goodlooking. :P

  • @thetree88 the MKS is a better looking car then the MKZ i think.....

  • @thetree88 - Thats is because the car is European. The car use what I call the Milan platform which is from Ford/Europe. It is use for the MKz, Milan, Fusion and even the MKS and MKX use this platform. Thus the 'family' resemblance.

    Lincoln and the Fusin have the best looking models on this platform. Mercury relly should be discontinue. Its like a cross of Lincoln and Ford versions of the car.

  • @TechieXP Well your wish came true, Mercury will end its 72 year run,by the end of 2011 or early 2012.Its a real shame because they used to make cars for the middle class to upper middle class, Lincoln was for the rich.Now with americas middle class nearly non existent it just makes sense for them to get rid of the marque.Hopefully our middle class will come back again someday,but I wouldn't count on it.My old man has a 1967 Mercury Cougar which is a fancy version of the Mustang, pretty cool car

  • @Deango2 you are so right, i think that our growing capitalist society is destroying our middle class and dividing us even more. america used to be a proud democracy, where freedom and a successful future was talked about everywhere... where did that go? now corporates are making back deals with government officials giving them billions of dollars with no restrictions and are influencing all our decisions.

  • @jesusfreak2123 yea,I totally agree with you sir.Capitalism is great but there needs to be a balance of that with socialism,if it doesnt then the companies run the country,and you know what that means..."The Jungle" all over againIt will be just like the late 1800s with corporations controlling the citizens.But most of our fellow americans dont care that corporations are now seen as an indivdual by the Supreme Court and with all the rights that come with being a human being.More rigged elections

  • @Deango2 yea i do hope america will rise from these economic problems and rescue ourselves from the corporate control

  • @Deango2 i myself am a democratic soicalist believer but thier is no way to accomplish that without corruption so in a country like america i do agree we need a good balance and no inclination towards the corporates

  • @jesusfreak2123 so true, I wish we were a little more like Sweden or Germany.

  • why doesnt the original song deserve to be in this commercial?

  • @korranda because they would have to pay a shitload in royalties, it's cheaper to re-record

  • awesome...

  • awesome!!! i love this spot...

  • *Rolls on the floor in tears* And they never did the Bowie version of it D: This has never stopped bothering me, I was looking forward to the Bowie version ever since they started this.

    They did three different Major Tom remakes, but never the original!!!!! BOWIE! What is wrong with these people. I protest by not buying this car! (Also, i don't think I can afford it :I )

  • @plumbbobmt LOL GG LINCOLN

  • Lincoln has the best music in ads but their cars are ugly

  • Its like some marketing guy for Lincoln just woke up one day and said "hey these dont have to blow anymore...you what doesn't blow? "SPACESHIPS!"

  • Best commercial ever.

  • One of the best lincoln's ad.

  • '

    NO NO NO thank,,,

    i dont like this car

  • Best car ad ever! They are usually so boring.

  • Let's see. Is this the best car ad ever? Or the best car ad really ever?

  • I would love to own this car. I wish there was a 4 cylinder model or something, my accord gets 32mpg.

  • @rk1717 its got a 6 speed transmission, thats really what depends on for mpg. That and how heavy your foot is on the gas. I know people getting 30mpg with v8's with lots of highway driving.

  • I think, Lincoln needs to stop playing around and, dump a SCr'd 5.0 in the MKZ so, they can join the battle between, the CTS-V, AMG, BMW's M and, Audi's R! What Lincoln should call they're racing division..., not sure yet...but, I'm prettysure, it will be BADAZZ, for sure! ;-)

  • BRB, buying a Lincoln MKZ.

  • @xuanin99 Yes I've seen the one you're talking about. Is the exact same commercial, but with a different song (which sucks by the way). This one kicks ass!!

  • i seriously want a lincoln mkz for my next car. this car is just as good as the commercial makes it look

  • @Jumbo0225 indeed i agree :D

  • LOVE this commercial. Who ever hired the ad agency that made this commercial should get a raise.

  • Epicly epic. One of the best car ads ever. I mean, a car coming out of the sky, white flaming, and smoothly driving away. Lights dancing about the cockpit. And then... Boom. Awesome gear shift. But all in such a subtle way. Just like the music. It explodes as the driver shifts. Boom. Lincoln.

  • that is how you sell a car america

  • Definately should of done it with the original song "Major Tom" by "David Bowie" Way better.

  • @judas74205 What are you talking about? The original was by Peter Schilling.

  • @judas74205 u mean peter schilling? and yeah, this sounds like crap, original song is SO much better!

  • what´s the other song of this same commercial?????

  • wooooooow i think that this is the best commercial in all the world

  • what song iis?

  • wow, the original is so much better, this sounds like shit

  • @GneshGnesh2837 fuck you

  • I've seen thousands of car commercials, but this one definitely takes the cake :D

  • I love this song : P tis why I searched this commercial : P

    Ich liebe Dieses video Und musik Das Lied Ist toll.

  • This commercial actually makes me want to spend $50,000 on an MKZ.

  • i love this song!!! this commercial made me look for the song!!! so never got tired of looking at the commercial and yes I did want to buy the car because of it

  • you can go with this, or you can go with that *points at a KIA*

  • This commercial with the song makes me want to buy the car!

    They really got this right.

  • this is prolly the only car commercial i actually like

  • sick bitch ass commerical song = epicness

  • Fucking awsome .

  • I love the German version of it, too!! Check it out: Major Tom Peter Schilling. It ives off the same high, too. But in German.

  • Best 30 seconds of my life! :o

  • Thanks for posting this, and I agree, this song is awesome!

  • makes me want a lincoln 

  • Sick commercial

  • Up me if you looked this up just for the song xD

  • thats exactly wat i did !!!!!!!

  • @ftheyanksandblosox you are dumb. shiny toy guns arent "a group of nothings" fucktard. and why the hell did you deliberately search for this commercial just to say you dont like it?

  • Lousy group and commercial!!!!

  • Lincoln = NASA?

  • @pinoyfourlyf yeah our spaceships are gonna have freaking lincoln symbols on the consoles xD

  • @pinoyfourlyf lincolns are the shit i got my 01 towncar for 300 bucks 400k miles and no problems awd mkz is my next investment

  • the only reason i want a Lincoln is because the song on the commercial...all their commercials are so well put together

    not like the ones (i forget the name but its "The Really Big Thing") that comercial was RETARDED

  • AHHH I saw this commercial and wanted the song!!!!! 

  • PWNEDZORD!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!11111!­!!!!!

  • ok whats the song about? ill take a stab at it: major tom is a astruanant stuck in space and cant make it back to earth and the song is based on his thoughts of never coming back? anyone see it differently?

  • @6fallensix To understand the meaning of the song. You first have to look at David Bowie's classic "Space Oddity" in which Major Tom first appears, then listen to Elton John's "Rocketman" since the "Rocket Man" is in fact non other than Major Tom. Shoot forward to Bowie's 80s hit sequel to Space Oddity, "Ashes to Ashes" in which Major Tom appears again.

    Or I can simply tell you the song is about drugs, but that'd totally devoid you of the pleasure of listening to these such fine songs.

  • wow thats right...ur pretty smart

  • this song is epic.

  • OMG I LUV THIS F***** SONG WOOO

    EVERY TIME THE COMMERCIAL GOES ON I PUT THE VOLUME UP!!! (while my parents yell at me to put it down >XD)

  • I would buy this car just because of this song!!! It really gets you high

  • I love love LOVE this song!!!

  • i think if you buy this car they should give you a free copy of this commercial. i love it!!!!

  • LOL i loved this commercial ,

  • Peter Schilling(the original person who sang this song) may be a one hit wonder,but with this remix his song lives on 4ever! I love the original version too! Peter had one of the best one hit wonder song lol

  • david bowie song -space oddity- ''ground control to major tom''

  • They are using a new song, different from Major om. DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE NAME? I can`t find it anywhere. It says something like "Reaching out to you" and kidna sounds like the Killers, but it is not them

  • @Lalairocks If you can find the name tell me please

  • they ruined the last mkz ad by changing this great song to the other one!
