Subject: New Lexus RX commercial...Are you up to the challenge?

Written By: Adriel Kelsick on 09/21/04 at 12:56 am

OK, this will probably be tough to find out, but here goes:

In a new Lexus RX commercial, there's a girl singing in the background:

Run away;
Run away;
Run away if you want to survive.

Does anybody have any clue as to who is singing or what the song is?  Thanks a million.

:-X :-X 8)

I haven't seen the commercial yet, but it sounds like "Run Away" by Real McCoy (release year 1995?).

I just saw the commercial.  It's a techno/electronica song.  I dont know the title or the artist, but it sounds euro techno, like Aqua or DJ Sammy.  But I really want to know what song this is also!

Okay, i have a question regarding another Lexus commercial.  It's the one with the instrumental music in the background.  I have no idea what the name of the music or who the composer is.  It's really burning my brain.  Does anyone know?

I'm not familiar with that commercial but I don't want you to toast your brain.

The campaign's music and sound design were both handled by Elias Arts in Los Angeles; Jimmy Haun composed the music and Jay Nierenberg handled the sound design. Margarita Mix de Santa Monica's Jimmy Hite mixed the final audio.

See the linked story at: http://www.icommag.com/april-2005/april-page-15.html

Give Jimmy a call and see if he has unused tracks he'll toss your way.  It's extremely likely we won't get our hands on the music that's used in the ads because the music was created for the agency and client, and they paid a hefty sum for it.  But, Huan may share a clip or two.  Hey, it's worth a shot...

Thanks so much for getting the answer for me.  I just discovered last week that the internet can track down songs for you if all you have are a few words. There must be a lot of people out there like me that think that just one more song will make your life complete.  I never forgot that commercial but I guess I can now. I bought the song on iTunes just a minute ago!
