mick2me 3,033 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Advertisers certainly know how to get the message across, A catchy music backing. Heres a recent sound that you will know, and perhaps like me wondered what it was, and what the rest was like. I was suprised how good it was for a sound I have never heard of.. Little yellow Spider What other similar Ad backing tracks do you know and love? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,580 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Ayup all, "Can't let Maggie go" from the old Nimble bread ad, always reminds me of the long warm summers when I were a teenager. Don't know who sang it though Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 O Sole Mio, always reminds me of Walls Cornetto and the man in the gondola in Venice. [geeeve eeet to meeee] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jane 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ayup mick2me, Been wondering about the 'Little Yellow Spider' song for ages!! Like it so much, I always stop what I'm doing to listen to it. Saw your title and typed in lyrics I could remember - 'hey little snapping turtle', and there it was, the same song by Dehandra Banhart think it was? Never heard of him/her, but catchy tune. !cheers!

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 There was a Toohey's beer advert on the idiot box when I lived in NSW. It was a modified Alabama song, " 40 hour week." Every time I hear it now I want a cold tinnie... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jane 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 And one that I really loved too... ..'Heard it Through the Grapevine' Marvin Gaye Where that gorgeous, young lad puts his 501 jeans into the washer.

Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 The one featuring Jodie Kidd, M& S is it? they use the theme from The Avengers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 The levi ad is Nick Kamen he had hits himself with "Each time you break my heart" (his biggy) made number 5 stayed in the chart for 12 weeks in 1986 and 4 smaller hits up to "I promised myself" in 1990. I think he was championed by Madonna my favorite ad music was the old Cathay Pacific (airlines) ad that used a piece of music called the flower duet from Madam Butterfly (I think) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jane 0 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Thanks for that beefsteak - gorgeous Nick Kamen !! Like the new one for Fosters Twisters too, 'Let It All Hang Out' by John Mellencamp Cool Sounds a bit like Bob Dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caz 25 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Mack the knife was written by Frank Sinatra & sang by Bobby Darrin as far as I know? and probably sung in plenty of pubs via Karaoke all over the world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Mack the Knife was originaly the "Theme from a threepenny opera" as it is officially known written by Kurt Weil and Berthold Brecht in the 1700's (Just a little while before 'ol blue eyes' was born!!!
