H3 is a Magic Number
I have the entire collection of School House Rock on DVD, and “Three is a Magic Number” is my personal favourite. Everytime I hear it I feel weepy and nostalgiac, as I’m sure half the people I know in their 30s do as well. So leave it to Spike Jonze Noam Murro to take a song that I love and a vehicle that I love to hate and mash them together with giant kitchy monsters. Meet the Hummer H3: half Iron Giant, half Godzilla.

Note: Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t General Motors already use this song for their 3-door Saturn commercials?
Add-on: Check out the Making-Of Video at JenniferLovesTheRobot.com. This just played on the SuperBowl.

They used a different song for the Superbowl version. Plus it was edited differently. They cut out the scene where Jennifer is in labour. I don’t think the Superbowl version was nearly as effective.
