What are the artist and title of the songs that goes "And i run, i run so far away...", and another with the long nots at the beginning then starts with "Here in my car, i feel..."? Damn Vice City, got me into 80's music. :p

Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Ahh, I know I've heard that before.... I can't think of it though. I looked in my manual... is it A Flock of Seagulls- "I Ran(So Far Away)" for the first one and Gary Numan-"Cars"? I am not 100% positive though, I don't know if I have heard them in VC or on the Radio. If it had been like Tom Petty or Bad Company, etc. I would have been able to easily tell who it was. I know for a fact there is a song by Foreigner(could tell by listening) and Reo Speedwagon(had to look in the manual) in the game. Again, I'm not sure on either one, but try downloading them and listening to them.
 
"Here in my car...I feel safest of all." Gary Numan - Cars.

It's in that Nissan ad, too.

I can't think of the other at the moment.

Yes, that is the song. I'm playing it right now, I love it! :) It's a great song for Vice City.

They used that song in a car ad!?! Arrrrhhh ha ha ha!!!! That's hilarious!

I love it when songs are used on TV and Films and people have no idea about the song - it's like when they use Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' for patriotic stuff!
 
Like when they played that song in the Mitsubishi ads and hardly anyone knew the name to song...:lol:
 
Nissan's been reeally good about matching songs to their car ads...I mean, at least their ad agency is.

Remember the old 300ZX ad with GI Joe and Barbie, with a little Van Halen thrown in?

I wouldn't call a song using cars as a device to describe social isolation and alienation an appropriate one to sell cars with....and I won't go into the other interpretation of the song's lyrics...

Yeah, yet it's fitting which president used it as a theme song for his re-election bid.

Although he did manage to win by a larger margin than any president in US history. But I'm sure it was because of the song.

Is that the horrible rap remix with the woman singing "cars, cars, cars..."? Blegh. :rolleyes:
