Honda Civic Commercial: Grooves

The Civic has always been about connecting drivers to the road. That got us thinking. Could we build a road that enhanced that connection?

Who CARES if it's out of tune? Please. I'm a musician too, but I find this commerical completely endearing. It's fascinating that they managed to do this at all; it's a road. Don't hate on the tone quality. It's adorable.

I didn't even know it was the William Tell Overture until I came here and looked. In terms of them emulating that song it failed. But I think it sounds like a pretty cool beat in itself...

Nope. Honda Ridgeline

Is that a toyota pick up truck at 0:26?

@pipnewkirk it's called math. what, you didn't study and pass it? ooooohhhh. you're mama must be very proud of how dumb you are. I guess no one would like you if you hated music that way. it's a catchy tune. what do you watch instead anyway. Rebecca Black?

@Dylan6281 Public domain, yes, I would think so, since it was written in 1829.

guys the tune for the song all depends on the speed in which the car is traveling. Im sure that it may in fact be "in tune" but the car might have been traveling at a changing mph. or it could be the other way around idk. but what i do know is that this is pretty amazing and @pupnewkirk y dont u give it a try? im SURE that u can make the most crisp, in tune, orchestra style musing in the world -_-*

@Sapphiresque It is in tune (or as close as can be expected) but the intervals between the notes are incorrect. For instance the first leap should be F-Bb-C-D (Do Fa Sol La) but they created F-A-Bb-C (Do Mi Fa Sol).

I still love the concept and passion that went into it though.

@pipnewkirk Stfu it was cool. There isn't exactly a book on how to make songs with grooves, and maybe they did it on purpose so they could avoid copyright infringement even though that is probabaly public domain

regardless of whether the tone and melody aren't spot on, it still sounds pretty cool :)

great idea, but it sounds horrible^^
