Enya’s 1988 hit Orinoco Flow is trending after being featured in a recent car commercial in Australia.
A Hyundai ad released Down Under has made the Irish singer’s most well-known song popular again, Noise11.com reports.
In the commercial, two siblings are screaming at each other as they get into their parent's vehicle following a soccer match, and the parents are clearly at their wit's end.
However, soon after the ignition button is pressed in the Hyundai Santa Fe, the children break into an acapella version of Orinoco Flow and some rather bizarre things start happening outside as the car drives down the street.
A man in a white horse appears, and people outside the vehicle join in the song until Enya’s original track can be heard and the stressed-out parents sit back in their seats, smile, and relax.
”Peace at last” is the tagline that appears at the end of the ad.
