Ozzy Classic Now Family Friendly For TV Ad

A new car ad campaign features a familiar soundtrack, but the song isn’t performed in its usual style.

A TV ad for the Honda Pilot, a midsize crossover SUV, shows a family of 8 cruising along when one of the kids starts singing a drum beat.

It’s the familiar tempo of the opening drum riff to Ozzy Osbourne’s "Crazy Train".

One by one, the family members join in on with different parts on an a cappella version before they... well, watch the video to see what happens for yourself.

Cha-ching for Ozzy's bank account on this one.

Lame.

Also, it's probably more racist to put a black kid in the back of that car than it would be just have a white family.

I can't make out what they say... At the risk of spoiling it for people who haven't heard it, 'Goin off the rails on a crazy...'? Any help?

AH man I wish it was Paranoid.

Finished with my volvo because its not good as an Audi
I feel like I am dying when you turn on your bloody high beams

I hate it when wankers cut me off and then they slam on the brakes
Put on your f*ckin seatbelt because if I crash your neck will break

Can you help me
put petrol in my tank?
Oh Yeah

SHARON WHERE'S THE BLOODY REMOTE FOR THE GARAGE

My first impulse is to just LAMBAST this for ruining one of my favorite Ozzy songs, but on second thought....rather Ozzy than some hiphop B.S.

i thought they could have done more to give it that crazy train feel

the riff could have been better

or they could have just put the song on top and had the family act it out

Token playing the marakas with a soft drink..

Anyway, decent advert I guess, but for some reason I always hate seeing adverts which consist of a family singing a song.
Like the haribo one in the UK

At least they didn't ruin the actual song to do it.

This is a brilliant advert that promotes family, the old happy days of the family sing-song and a bit of good cheer, as well as promoting the product. The family in this advert is one of several generations and is not limited to a stereotype. As an advert, a sales approach, it ought to be used with great frequency; it ought to be Honda's primary advert. Well done Honda!

This is a brilliant advert, one that promotes the extended family, with all clearly being accepted, as well as the old family tradition of a sing-song. They are not supposed to be professionals. That is the point. The advert is well done and ought to serve as Honda's primary advert.
