Who is the Group that sings the Range Rover ad?

[M.D. Holloway]

Shows a bunch of Discoveries going through all sorts of places, in the background you can her a melodic tune with the lyrics "Do you relize...". I have heard that song before, I'm thinking the Allen Parsons Project but not sure. Its bugging me enough to send the first correct answer a nice prize!

Ok brain trust, as a bonus, who are the groups who sing the Mac tunes for the Air Book and the Ipod?

Flaming Lips

[M.D. Holloway]

Ding Din Ding! We have a winner!!!

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Ronan - I owe ya! And I haven't forgotten about you either. Been struggling with internal politics is all.

do you realize FOMOCO ferd motor company has SOLD LAND ROVER/RANGE ROVER to the country of INDIA!!!!


hahahahahahahahahahah LMFAO! POS UBER SNOTTY SNOTS now get to contend with a 1800 FIX IT customer complaint person in INDIA 24/7/365! kinda like my dell computer CSR number!

any idiot that buys a POS land rover/range rover deserves this!

this is coming from someone that works on them and will shoot himself before EVER ENDURING A SAFARI IN ONE! let alone ever being swayed by their commercials marketing "COOL-DEBONAIR-SOPHISTICATED-INTELLIGENT-WEALTHY-WERE SO COOL"

i especially love the intelligent white people here that lower them and put spinners on them here in snobbsdale! this clearly indicates wayyyyyyy tooooo much LSD use or INBREEDING!

cant wait to see the JD POWERS consumer DIS- satisfaction graph go thru the roof!!!!!

how many decades has rover continued to have low satisfaction rates????????

i feel the entire reason for the economic insecurity is the fact that most people need credit to buy a POS rover and then when it breaks down they need credit to repair it, they need credit for the parts and then it breaks down so often they loose their jobs and finally they shoot themselves or OD themselves so as to end it all!

all because they had to "BE COOL and TRENDY"!

who the hell owns JAG-U-AR now?? the falkland islands?????

and by the wayyyyyyy we are in the middle of major surgery on a POS 76 rover POS v-8 w/strombergs. GOD I JUST LOVE STROMBERGS!

I saw that ad last night, and almost had to destroy the TV. Very annoying. Not a Rover fan, I guess. They are very popular in LA among the legions of wannabes, though.

Don't believe they've been sold to India yet, though seems likely they will be. Jaguar, too. US Jag dealers have petitioned, stating that this will be bad for image/sales. They are probably right.

Brits have sold Tetley Tea, and British steel to India already. Interesting to see the old colony buying the colonialists!

Had a friend who bought a new one once, and it broke down 1/2 mile from the dealer's lot. Dealer refused to pick her up! (Hornburg in the Valley). She canceled the check, of course.

Charles - wow, didn't mean to touch a nerve. I agree with you. I don't like those vehicles either. Every time I see one it always has some hot soccer mom driving it with more money she married than sense. Same for the H3.

I do like the song though.
