Expedia’s latest commercial, the first in their new 2012 Find Yours campaign, has a nice documentary feel that very effectively highlights the joys of travel. It’s a new approach for the online travel company and its success is largely due to its use of the song “Raconte-Moi Une Histoire” by the band M83 (primarily a vehicle for French songwriter/musician Anthony Gonzalez). The track, a charmingly frivolous electro-pop nugget, appears on the band’s ambitious 2011 double album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. We’re going to take a wild guess and say that the title is French. (Update: Yep! Google Translate confirms that it is in fact French and that it translates to “Tell me a story.”)
