    Did anyone see the new Tundra commercial, prominently featuring the Blind Melon song No Rain.
    It was ironic that the commercial is almost based around and emphasizes the echoing "it's not sane" refrain in the song. Toyota, you make me feel like dancing!

    did they choose the song because the truck handles poorly in the rain?

    That song might be the epitome of my youth, but I fail to see how a song that is all about the failure to live a meaningful life... sells trucks.

    But no, I have not seen the commercial.

    I guess this is what my oldest brother felt like when GM used The Doors Light My Fire to sell Buicks?

    If Toyota is listening. I think the new Tundra ad campaign is, well not good.

    It has nothing to do with the truck. The ads do not mention anything about the truck. They don't tell you the size of the engine, what kind of transmission it has, what trim and options are available. Not a single thing about the Tundra, it's like the truck is lacking substance.

    I guess anyone who wants to buy one can find that information for themself.

    Lyrics

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    I like watching the puddles gather rain
    And all I can do
    Is just pour some tea for two
    And speak my point of view
    But it's not sane
    It's not sane
    I just want someone to say to me
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah
    You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
    So stay with me and I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
    And I don't understand why I sleep all day
    And I start to complain that there's no rain
    And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
    And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
    Escape
    Escape
    Escape
    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    You don't like my point of view and I'm insane
    It's not sane
    It's not sane
    I just want someone to say to me
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    I'll always be there when you wake, yeah, yeah
    You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, hey
    So stay with me and I'll have it made
    I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
    And I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
    Oh no, no
    You know we're really gonna
    Really gonna have it made
    You know we'll have it made

    No offense to anyone here but I doubt toyota is hurting in any sense. Whatever groups, marketing etc. Saw what works and sells and did it. Why waste the effort and time to show you the specs (that anyone who cares about will look up) when you can hit clips of the vehicle doing stuff with music to hit that 35+ year old nostalgia of using blind melon and action shots.

    Nothing says "buy me" like a melancholy retro-hippie in a flaccid edm remix.
