Chevy Colorado "Theme Song" (2014) :30 (USA)

The 2015 Colorado is here. And it will help your theme music (as well as that boring old sedan) go from bland to brand new! Finding new roads! Okay, not really. That ACDC song came out nine years after the Carpenters "Rainy Days and Mondays." What I'm saying is, "Back in Black" is 34 years old now. It's also been used a buncha times in advertising. Also-- there's a weird ultra-macho thing I'm not liking about this concept. I think it's because, theme music and big truck-inferiority complex aside, both dudes work in the same office building. It's not like Mr. Colorado is a lumberjack that eats glass shards for breakfast.

Also aired during the Super Bowl XLIX pre game show.

I resent the negative aspect of the Carpenter's song on the most recent Colorado ad. Yes, I'm older. Yes I like the Carpenters. No, I will not ever consider a Chevy truck in the future…and I actually was!

The ad is just one big dumb cliché on all levels.

Anyone else really like the strings playing the Carpenters song?

In a 14-year career The Carpenters sold over 100,000,000 units. Why insult their fans by insinuating that people who listen to their music aren't cool (or whatever it is they're trying to say)? I've never heard of a successful campaign based on insulting a large part of the population.

(In over 40 years AC/DC has sold over 200,000,000 units, by the way.)
