Hit Song From Car Commercial
From NPR's Weekend Edition - Sunday, April 24, 2005 ยท "Aqualung, a nearly one-man band driven by frontman Matt Hales' songwriting, piano playing and vocals, has already had what can only be called a "commercial" success.
The breakthrough was "Strange & Beautiful," a song first heard as a car commercial in Britain. It's also the title of Aqualung's latest CD.
Hales had hoped for discovery by a record label or radio station, but now says his non-traditional route was "even better... because it was kind of democratic." People who heard the car ad pestered radio stations to play the whole song."
See and hear Aqualung at NPR.org.
"Strange & Beautiful" and many other Aqualung songs are available at the iTunes Music Store and other fine music selling establishments.

Anyone know what car company? VW sure does use some cool tunes in their ads....
I think this was also on The OC - you know the other way to get a hit record these days....
The OC has spawned HOW many soundtracks so far?
90210/MP had 3-4?
