Just when you think you’ve heard all of Queen’s music– not THE queen, more on her family here, but I mean the band Queen— a TV ad comes on and you wonder what song is playing as the soundtrack. Check out the new Acura commercial highlighting the 2022 MDX.
The song is “Tear It Up” by Queen. Here’s the full track.
The song appears on their 1984 album “The Works.” Other tracks I like from this album are “Radio Ga Ga” and probably my #1 from the record, “I Want to Break Free.”
“Tear It Up” is a great choice for this ad, and the editing matches the tone of the song. I appreciate how they incorporated a few of their “classic” sports cars in the ad, giving the MDX, while it’s an SUV, an element of speed and sportiness. Other models they flash back to are as follows…
1990s Acura NSX…
Early 90s race car…
Acura Integra Type R…
Acura NSX newer model…
and a matte black version…
I’m assuming this is the reputation they want to create for the 2022 MDX, one that is rip-roaring, fast, and fun.
What do you think of the ad? Does it make you want to go into debt to buy an MDX? Comment below!
