Dunno Gary.

But it'll probably appear here soon.

It's by Smash Mouth, but the title isn't mentioned.

BTW Did you know that Nike advert with Cantona and the footballers on the ship was directed by Terry Gilliam?

never mind the music

we've talked about this before. So I'm just curious whether this ad is on Uk tv too: the one with the guy and the girl in the car (French brand?) and they're kinda overtaken by a fighter pilot, and the pilot has a rather good rapport with the girl.

Once again I'm not terribly curious about the music (I'm not even aware whether there's any music in the background, due to remote control). All I'd like to say is, the girl is pretty nice.

In fact, that's not all I wish to say. I'm wondering why there can't be an ad where the Bailey blonde and the car girl get to hang out together, and then they want to buy a book for a change, and the book they happen to fancy is mine. You know, these things happen...

Herman,

It's a nice dream...but dream on! FWIW I don't recognise the car ad you mention...but I get the idea!

It's Smash Mouth and a track called Walkin' on the sun from the album fush yu mang (circa 1997).

Two advert scores I've liked recently are the Orange ones. The one with the big cat in the underwear department and the one with the woman in the nightdress at some cold research place.

Any ideas?

Smash mouth, Damn I was betting my girlfriend it was that group that did writing on the wall song.

You know, ...the writings on the wall, ...... stumble you might fall, stumble you might fall.

Sorry thats a bit stupid I know.

Well anyhoo. They sound the same.

I find that Nike advert grossly offensive and indicative of Nike's complete failure to understand football and football culture. They seem to want to make football into basketball.

I dislike football, basketball and Nike. But I rather like the Elvis track.

amazing what an advert can do for a song - or is it the other way around?
confused

Anyone know what the music is off the Adidas Climacool adverts with Anna K doing the Marylin Monroe thing?

How many times do I have to post this link?

Stranglers - Peaches

I need to see the advert again to confirm but there is no way the advert I'm thinking of has Peaches as its soundtrack. The song is some kind of chillout track, emphatically not a punk classic of the 70s

Hmmm...but it says so on the internet, so it must be true...

But you're right - that's complete crap, it's the Beckham ad that's got the Stranglers.

I was driving to the far North on Friday afternoon, well to Cumbria actually, listening to Radio 2. And Steve Wright played Peaches. The Proper Version. Quite Heineken.
