Great Lake Swimmers Grow Up And Make A Honda Ad

In this new Honda ad, the Tony Dekker-fronted Toronto band's "See You On The Moon!" is played during the start of a small homegrown outdoor rock concert (where everyone owns the same kind of car). In the past the track's given the name to See You on the Moon: Songs for Kids of All Ages and showed up on For The Kids III. Now Great Lake Swimmers hope it will sell you a 2010 Insight. The full song features the "When I grow up maybe I'll be a veterinarian" or "maybe I'll be an astronaut and work for NASA," etc., theme, but here the focus is the "When I grow up maybe I'll be a singer in a band / and I'll drive all across the land / with my friends all in the van" bit. Thing is, the Honda Insight's "the hybrid for everyone." Maybe they should adjust that last line so it gets better gas mileage.
