honda ad music

[khaotik]

what the hell is the music used in the new honda civic ad in which lots of little kids assemble a car out of brightly coloured plastic parts? Am I the only person who's ever seen this? Am I imagining it? I've searched every engine with every concievable combination of keywords and still turned up nothing. Can anybody relieve me of this obsession?

Fear not, khaotik, your quest is at an end... The track is "Java", written by E.Stern and arranged and performed by the semi-legendary 'space age popster', composer, arranger and innovator Andre Popp (born France, 1924), who had his first worldwide hit in 1954 with "Les Lavandieres du Portugal [Portugese Washerwomen]" and his biggest smash with the more conventional "Love Is Blue" in the late sixties. Popp fanatics cite "Delirium in Hi-Fi" (late 50's, includes the track "Java") or "The Adventures of Piccolo, Saxie and company" as his best work.
