Lou Reed, Beatles Drive Uber to Paris Olympics

There's a new tag: 'On Our Way'

Uber takes a tuneful route to the Paris Olympics, with Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” and the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” along for the ride.

Developed in-house, fresh work pairs those classic tracks with a new tagline: “On Our Way.”

Yeah, it’s the old montage routine. But the spot’s sing-along simplicity and reassuring message should resonate. We’re not alone. Food and transport are just a few clicks away. In our chaotic world, sometimes that’s good to know.

Note the chime-y sonic exclamation point at the end. That’s Uber’s first such I.D.—coming to the app, website and social handles soon.

It’s nice. No Beatles, though.
