Holy shit
Father John Misty’s written a piss-take Prius jingle
Another day, and another slice of tomfoolery from Josh Tillman.

Another day, another piece of tomfoolery from Father John Misty. Josh Tillman has uploaded a track called ‘Prius Commercial Demo’ to Soundcloud.
Presumably taking the piss out of the usual folk-leaning culprits that usually provide such jingles, Father John Misty’s Prius competition is filled with affected hey-ho outbursts, and gently burring guitars and whiskey references. It’s in a similar vein to Tillman’s recent House of Cards theme song, and a series of supposedly-rejected Pandora radio commercials.
Read our feature with Father John Misty - where we delve into his warped sense of humour, and singer-songwriter persona -here, and listen to his alleged (and, let’s face it, probably parodic) Prius jingle below.
Father John Misty will play Bilbao BBK Live (7th-9th July), and Latitude (17th-19th July), where DIY is an official media partner. Tickets are on sale now. Visit diymag.com/presents for more information.
