Nike “Write the Future” Postscript

Fun little side note here to what is probably the most successful guerilla YouTube ad ever, Nike’s “Write the Future.  Now, we’ve all seen the actual ad about a gajillion times.  I’m not sure why I was interested in digging in here – probably because I figured they created all the audio in a studio.  But it turns out the main theme from the spot (other than the use of Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher drum rift in the beginning) actually comes from a 1970’s Dutch band.  The Dutch band were even the ones who had the yodeling.  Check it out here.
