The continuity announcer on BBC7 just mentioned that Garrison Keillor is singing a song in some advert. Due to BBC’s longstanding policy, he couldn’t name the product.
Do any of you UK dopers know what this product or song is?
It’s not inconceivable that this ad is running in the US as well – I don’t watch/listen to enough advertising supported media that I would have encountered it.
Thanks.
Garrison Keillor has done several commercials for Honda.
Wow! I do live in a cave. How long has this been going on? Any catchy tunes in the ones you’ve seen? He’s kind of an ugly guy – does he appear or only do voice over?
Thanks. I never expected to get such a quick response.
You can see one of the ads here. Enjoy!
I guess I’m dense today—I can’t find exactly where the ad is. Might someone be able to speak slowly and point it out for me?

Oh, I forgot all about this until now. But, thank-you very much, pinkfreud, for the assistance. That’s a terrific spot, and such a shame that it hasn’t shown over here…at least, I don’t think it did…
