Jethro Tull and Hyundai commercial

[jlee75]

Anyone see this one yet? I think that song's Thick as a Brick. Can anyone verify this?

I really like Jethro Tull. It's unique. Thick as a Brick was an awesome 'song'. 45 minutes of greatness.

Yep, wife caught it, I didn't realize it was Tull.

Yep, just heard it earlier. Been hearing quite a few classic rock tunes used in current commercials. Iggy Pop's Lust For Life was used in a Cruise Line ad. When I remember the others I'll post here, but there are a few...

Their lyrics are just friggin' amazing. The song was a great concept. Almost classical in nature. With transitions and everything.


"Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
the tidal destruction
the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
the newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
your suntan does rapidly peel and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick."

I had the pleasure of seeing Tull perform it when it first came out. I t was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. What I wouldn't give to have a video of a Tull concert from that era...
