Here's a 2011 Honda Accord Commercial:



Now here's "The Show Must Go On" by Pink Floyd:



Bullshit.

I can see why you say it but in a case for "stealing the song" i don't think it would hold up.

Actually Syd, that song is The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel, it was released in 1970. Maybe they have a case against Pink Floyd completely ripping them off 9 years later...

My question is, is that a 2010 commercial for a 2011 car, or a 2011 commecial for a 2011 car.

If the latter is true, can I have your time machine? This Is A Joke

Syd was all kinds of wrong in this thread, that's what he gets for questioning Honda and Kevin Spacey.

Uh, they started selling or advertising 2011 models in August. That's how things work.

People already own NBA 2k11 and whatnot.

Yeah, I know a bunch of people who work for GM, they get a break at the beginning of July while they re-tool for the new model year.

I guess it is just a coincidence that Roger Waters just finished his USA tour of "The Wall" and the music is strikingly familiar to Floyd fans. Shame on Honda! I hope the band catches wind of this and sues their ass. Pretty pathetic Honda Corporation. All your money and you have to stoop to this robbery. What's next-I want to hold your Honda? Or -Help me Honda ,help,help,me Honda. I want a court injunction now!

I can't believe this many people don't love them some Simon & Garfunkle.
