Music in adverts

[Moonbeam Angel]

This is all Wood Tattoo's fault, because I had to put my MP3 player on, I have left it running and on comes a song :

I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing by The New Seekers

Can anyone remember what this advertised????? (I can because I am OLD)

Got me thinking, what is your most memorable song/music used in an advert and what was it advertising....

[Seahorse]

I think it was Coca cola.

[woodtattoos]

My fault?!! Honestly...

I think mine is "Phat Planet" by Leftfield... the horses crashing in the waves on the Guinness ad.

There is a brill site for looking up what songs and advert go together. I just looked it up there

http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/

The best ever Levi advert in the 80's when Nick Kamen stripped to his boxers!

Think that one was "I heard it through the grapevine" as well.

Fruitella to the tune of I'm too sexy!! (by Right Said Fred!)

My friend made me an advert tape when I was 14 - still love it - oooh and also the shampoo advert to the tune of Venus!

[Wildheart]

The first thing that popped into my head was 'only the crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate...' from the Flake ads. That was closely followed by that dancing Scotsman proclaiming 'there's jooce, loose, about this hoose' from the fruit gums adverts. Ba ba baa ba ba ba ba ba baa ba ba....

was it not "theres a moose loose aboot this hoose?" but, Jooce does make more sence since they were talking about fruit gums.

[Wildheart]

You could be right and I think they altered the original wording to fit the ad. I seem to remember there was a moose head in the ad....

[Lilac Moon]

I luved that ad too. but my fav has to be the grouse whiskey one with the famous grouse on it. but for the life of me I cant remember what the tune was.

It's got to be Inside by Stiltskin - it advertised Levis jeans. Here's a link if you are so inclined!
