Landrover tune

This is still one of the most frequently googled pages on my site: “who sings the song in the Land Rover commercial?”, or variants thereof. Apparently, not everyone thinks to Google for answers to all of life's questions...

Ask Stuart Elliott: Have Land Rover Will Travel

A Reader Asks: Who is singing in the Land Rover commercial that ran in August? At the end of the commercial, he seems to holler. Also, what is the name of the song?

Stuart Elliott: The commercial, for the 2005 Land Rover LR3, features a song called “Have Love Will Travel” by a band named the Sonics. “I wouldn't qualify it as a holler,” says Scott Anderson, a spokesman for the Land Rover agency, “but it is very upbeat.” The agency is the Dearborn, Mich., office of Young & Rubicam, part of the Young & Rubicam Brands unit of the WPP Group.

Thank the godz I have a TiVo, and can skip past this ad, so the song hasn't suffered wear-out for me.
