The other day, when we went over to see @super_ram with Ava turning 13, we were talking and for some reason, my dad started talking about songs he liked. He played Andrea Bocelli's daughter, Virginia, signing what was one of @GrannyPie's favourite songs.

A few other songs played, then on TV an Amazon advert came on. He mentioned that he liked the song which was used, he asked if I knew what it was - I didn't, but quickly found it googling.

It samples Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields's "Canon À 3 on a Ground in D Major".

What songs do you like that are featured in adverts?

PS. Did you know that due to their loose licensing rights, Nickelback became what the internet considers to be the most hated band?

I think the most famous, and also the song I like the most in an advert, was the song that the New Seekers sang in the 70s, that was called I'd like to teach the World to sing, modified to include Coca Cola.

 

I don’t watch adverts these days because I record stuff and skip the ads but years ago before recording tv was available of course I had no choice.

One of my favourite ads was this one for apple imac G3 computers I’ve still got one in the loft mines a blue one, the song was by the Rolling Stones my favourite group

 

@Robbie i have nightmares of that advert, the soullessness of the stirring and lack of emotions, plus seeming like a cult that worships a soft drink that is about as health as drinking battery fluid. ????
