I'm not sure if this was posted here yet, but if so feel free to delete.

Stars of the new Lincoln vehicle lineup – and musical stars from the brand's popular television ads – will shine brightly during music's biggest night, the 52nd GRAMMY Awards®, which airs at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, Jan. 31 on CBS.

Continuing with its music-infused advertising, Lincoln will present viewers with unique concert-like commercials for the Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln MKT and Lincoln MKS that integrate seamlessly into the GRAMMY show, featuring the Shiny Toy Guns performing the group's hit rendition of "Major Tom."

The Lincoln ads on GRAMMY night will encourage people to visit www.lincoln.com/music, where they will be able to see the full concert performance of Shiny Toy Guns as well as behind-the-scenes footage from that band and Sia, an Australian pop singer who performs the track for the current Lincoln MKT commercial. They also will be able to listen to music from four up-and-coming artists, vote for the band they think should perform the music for the next Lincoln ad, and check out the latest Lincoln products.

Unique music draws new customers to the Lincoln brand
Lincoln has been using music to draw new, younger customers to the brand since the launch of the Lincoln MKS in 2008.

The soundtracks for the Lincoln commercials, which feature new remakes of popular hits like "Burnin' for You" (featured in Lincoln MKS EcoBoost), "Major Tom (Coming Home)," used with Lincoln MKZ, and "Under the Milky Way," now airing with the new Lincoln MKT, are performed by contemporary new bands to showcase the new cars and crossovers.

If the number of hits on YouTube is any indication, the commercials have been wildly successful. The Lincoln MKZ ad, which features Shiny Toy Guns singing "Major Tom," has received more than 447,000 views and was voted the most popular ad song of the year for 2009 by Adtunes. And Cat Power's version of "Space Oddity," the soundtrack for the Lincoln MKS commercial, has racked up more than 420,000 views.

According to Zaremba, the commercials may also be impacting sales. The brand is attracting new customers, many of whom are coming from other makes. From 2005 to 2009, Lincoln's share of the luxury segment increased 30 percent.

Pretty cool, eh kitties?

Within the article is a link to the Lincoln site where you can find a really amazing Major Tom video (perhaps the music video we've been waiting for?)

http://www.lincoln.com/music/

(Thanks to Kara for noticing that last bit)

[IHeartBooks]

No. Better than pretty cool, I think. STG has been kind to us lately.

Did anyone go to the website (www.lincoln.com/music) listed in the article? There's a sweet Major Tom video there. I think it may be the one we've been waiting for.

*explodes into a million little swirling stars that dance about the room then simultaneously float through the ceiling in search for the lost Major Tom*

[Enuf3]

You're welcome.
I'm just glad I actually followed the link because I almost didn't.

And yes. Love the video.

ALSO NOTE:
Major Tom (Live) Download below the video.

Let's update the title to: " Shiny Toy Guns - Grammy Night + Major Tom video + New Major Tom (Live) Download!"? Maybe? Please? Just in case people focus on this thread and not the music video one where I mentioned the song download.

Oh, can we update the title to: " Shiny Toy Guns - Grammy Night + Major Tom video + New Major Tom (Live) Download!"? Maybe? Please?

Just in case people focus on the new stuff here instead of the Music Video topic...?

Ight. Let me know what you think of the new ridiculously long title. lol

[IHeartBooks]

Lol. Looks like you quoted me, while I was editing mine to make the song part more obvious. Hehe.

I'm just SO EXCITED. 

P.S. I think the title is great. Draws attention to all of the fab things going on.

Of course! Shiny love is very important!

*reforms from the formerly searching stars*

Does anyone else think Sisely looked like a wonderous goddess that descended down from the scattered extragalactic dust that was once the beautiful Yuuzhan'tar?

Also, I know I keep saying this, but I really feel like they're starting to do the things that made me fall in love with them in the first place. (i.e. all the band members wearing outrageously cool make-up.) It seemed like for a while I didn't see that as much.

Yes. Definitely. They seem to be sliding back into what originally made them Shiny Toy Guns. The makeup, the intoxicating electronic music.. everything. It's overwhelming, really.

And yes, Sisely is gorgeous in the video. Absolutely stunning. She IS a goddess.

[IHeartBooks]

I'm inclined to agree with both of you. They're like a better version of themselves, only again because they were like this before.

I love it!

As for Sis, she always looks pretty. She could probably wear anything ugly and still look good in it.

[cheshirecat]

Sigh. I just feel so euphoric. It's almost like when you've been dating/married to someone for a while long time and things don't feel like they did on your honeymoon. And then suddenly they go on a diet and look like they did when you first met and suddenly you're in love all over again.

Tru dat Kara. Sisely is so pretty. One time I saw a video of her getting her make-up put on and she was still gawgous without it.

Now I want to go make out with someone. Chad sang.

It always gets me into a frenzy when I get to watch him play and sing. I wish he sang more in the mp3 version.

*wants him*

[cheshirecat]

Well that was sexually ferocious.

[abthomas]

Have you forgotten how much I ... yeah. Chad.

[cheshirecat]

Nope. No forgetfulness. But it still shocks me every time when Chad awakens the beast within you.

[abthomas]

*wicked grin* The man I marry will be a lucky man. That's all I have to say on that subject.

*faints*
