Honda commercial songs: introducing memorable past CM tracks and the latest buzzworthy tunes

Story of the NightNotzan ACT

Story of the Night

With its funky rhythms and sound, and a beautifully featured piano, “Tales of the Night” is a track by Notzan ACT, known for free music resources and more.

From a high-velocity intro that makes you want to take off running, it moves into jazzy piano vibes, then shifts from a piano-led section to an electric-guitar-driven one.

The sound conjures up images of the stories that might unfold tonight.

If you’re into funk, jazz, or instrumental music, this makes a perfect companion for a drive.

Gotta Go HomeBoney M

Boney M. – Gotta Go Home (Sopot Festival 1979)

HONDA FREED CM 'FREED PEOPLE' Version 15 seconds

This song, which carries the meaning of “I’ve got to go home,” is by Boney M., a disco band from Germany, and it was released in 1979.

Although they were a German band, many of the members were from Latin America and Africa, and they had many songs with an exotic flair.

They’re also known for the hit “Rasputin,” and it’s said they inspired the debut of the German disco band Dschinghis Khan.

Honda always picks quirky songs for their commercials, so I’m really looking forward to it.
