''The Ever So Nice Jazz'' is the name given to a series of Australian commercials from 2005 that were made to promote the new (at the time) Honda Jazz. The commercials seemed to parody Thomas the Tank Engine, with talking vehicles (this time being cars rather then trains) that swap between still facial expressions with a narrator who parodies the iconic narration style of Ringo Starr from the show's earlier seasons (provided in the advert by Tony Robinson of Blackadder fame). According to comments by user Bulgy13, the commercials had a behind the scenes video showing how they were made which contained a full uncut version of the song heard in the adverts, but while Bulgy13 recorded the instrumental cut of the song, the video it was sourced from is now seemingly lost.

A still taken from one of the "Ever So Nice Jazz" series of Australian commercials, made to advertise the Honda Jazz.

Status: Lost

The Ever So Nice Jazz is the name given to a series of Australian produced commercials from 2005 to 2007 that were created by animation company Anifex to promote the new (at the time) Honda Jazz. The commercials seemed to parody popular children's TV show Thomas the Tank Engine, with talking vehicles (this time being cars rather then trains) that swap between still facial expressions and a narrator who parodies the iconic narration style of Ringo Starr from the show's earlier seasons (provided in the advert by Tony Robinson of Blackadder fame). According to comments by YouTube user Bulgy13, the commercials had a behind the scenes video showing how they were made which contained a full uncut version of the song heard in the adverts, but while Bulgy13 recorded the instrumental cut of the song, the video it was sourced from is now seemingly lost.

Availability

Previously, the only way to hear the instrumental version of the song heard in the adverts was through a fan-made video inspired by The Ever So Nice Jazz titled "Smiley's Adventure", created by YouTube user Bulgy13 in 2008. In the comments he replied to a user asking where the full version of the Jazz track came from, where he mentioned how he recorded it from a behind the scenes video made for the commercials, effectively confirming its existence.

Later on, user Slick Video Productions uploaded the cut of the track heard in Smiley's Adventure to SoundCloud under the title "Honda Jazz Advertisement Music"[1]. Slick asked in the description for anyone who knew where the original full song could be found to come forward in the comments, but as of 2023, nobody has done so.

Outside of the extracts of the instrumental, Bulgy13 talking about it and a potential still taken from it being on Anifex (the company who created the commercials)'s website, there is no proof to suggest there was ever a behind-the-scenes video made for the Ever So Nice Jazz commercials. There is no mention of it existing online, and no footage from it has ever resurfaced.
