It is a really cool commercial. Had to take ages to make. Then again I'm a big discovery channel fan.

That commercial makes me so happy. I wish they'd play the full version more, instead of snippets.

Bump just because this commercial makes me smile and more people need to see it that may not have already.

But yeah. That commercial just makes me happy, especially the Deadliest Catch guys and the fireworks on the beach.

I love this commercial! Like some of the others in this thread have said, it fills me with warm fuzzies.

I love the commercial. My kids do as well. All of us quite often start singing that song for no apparent reason.

With that said, I don't know what it's like in other parts of the world but up here you can't escape it. It's on just about every channel over and over and over again...



Like I said, I love it but the overplay is putting a strain on our relationship...lol.

lol - Richie. At least it's not the History Channel. The whole damned world revolves around Adolph Hitler over there! Sharks are way better, although now I'm a little afraid to go fishing. Even in landlocked freshwater lakes, I'm pretty sure giant sharks are waiting to eat me.

I love these commercials. Any idea who did the original song? I'd actually stick it on my iPod if I could find it. The Discovery Channel rocks.

Edit - never mind. The song is called I Love the Mountains, and there are a bunch of artists mostly childrens and campfire songs types of artists. Might be public domain.

Here's my version:

I love my second life
I love my killer hair
I love my avatars
and flying in midair

I love the dancing
and hanging out with friends
I love the Goreans
and those in furryland

Boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah

I love Linden Lab
even though they screw things up
I love the Tao
and hair up my butt

I love my skybox
Live music makes me sing
I love the people
I love building things

Boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah

Boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah
boom dee ah dah

etc.

If I could do machinima, this would be my first project.

I tried googling a bit, and couldn't find anything. It might have been made just for that commercial.

I'll see your Deadliest Catch and raise you one Mike Rowe. I'd get dirty with him any day of the week.
