Help me remember what this song is from a car advert

Please - ‘cos it’s doing my head in.

It’s from the last 3-5 years (I think - the years are flying by), and all I can remember is that it’s a big ballad reminiscent of a 50s or 60s song and sung by a female vocalist. I thought the ad was from Mercedes but can’t find it on Google so maybe another brand? Iirc the car was floating through a night sky. The song was released separately after the advert.

Isn't it called "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz"? If I'm wrong I'll have another think, just type that title into Google and it'll bring it up

'Oh you pretty things' by Bowie? From Mercedes advert

If it's the one @Phoenix76 means then it's Janis Joplin Mercedes Benz

At Last by Etta James?

SirChenjins · 22/08/2024 22:19

No, neither of those - it’s by a female singer and it’s a soaring type of ballad. I had it on my playlist and lost it, now desperately trying to remember what it was as I loved it. It sounded like it could have come from a film in the 60s, had that sort of vibe to it.

No, not At Last. It was a new song written for the ad which was then released.

My silver lining - first aid kit?

Wehavealaughdontwe · 22/08/2024 22:21

Or maybe 'feeling good by Nina Simone which was on a volvo advert?

SirChenjins · 22/08/2024 22:21

No, not Silver Lining

Wasn’t by a well known singer or band - completely new song

Go to tvadsongs.co.uk and look through the car category. I don't think it was on a car advert but I love the song 'wings by Birdy after hearing it on an advert

Was going to suggest Paloma Faith - Make your own kind of music, it was the Skoda advert but she is well known. Definite 60’s
vibe nit Mamas and Papas

Is it Dream On? The Polestar advert? Originally by Aerosmith.

Midlifecryses · 22/08/2024 22:26

Sounds like Mamas and Papas because it’s one of their songs!

CitronellaDeVille · 22/08/2024 22:29

Take My Breath Away , Berlin, the Top Gun theme that was used in a Peugeot ad?

But earlier than you suggest, and a burning field rather than car in the sky
