Harley and Lexi...they get along, why can't everyone follow this? Oh well, one can dream. No word,yet, from the city, keep fingers crossed.
For the most part, commercials are irritating, annoying and a pain. Every once in a while, we have very funny ones, or beautiful ones. They also have used or composed music that becomes a hit which is where I am heading. Let's see if you like these ditties. I am joining in on Freebie week over at Monday Music Moves Me.
1. I LIKE TO TEACH A SONG TO SING SUNG BY A VARIETY OF PEOPLE-1970
I have showcased the original commercial along with the newer version which is longer. I always loved this song and found it hopeful.
2. THEME FROM LAKME FLOWER DUET BRITISH AIRWAYS-1989
It comes from Delibes 1883 Opera, “Lakme” the flower duet which is so enchanting and has been recorded many, many times.
I love Katherine Jenkins and Kiri Te Kanawa who sing this with such exquisiteness that it leaves me speechless. I’m on a kick, right now, listening to Katherine Jenkins.
3. DE BEERS DIAMOND AD-1993
When I heard this music, I was enthralled and thought, it was, for sure, by Vivaldi. So did many people and, before you knew it, people were requesting this song to be played on the classical radio station. I totally understand why.
I had no idea it was written by a Welshman born in 1949. Obviously, he was influenced by by Vivaldi but, no matter, it’s just so pretty.
Any music from a commercial that you love?
Many years ago Jaguar used Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game. I bought the song but, needless to say to say, not the car. (Just looked it up - 2001. Would not have guessed quite that long ago!)
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of the Coca-Cola song. I also liked the classical music in the last video. Favorite commercial song? I once wrote a blog post about an iPhone commercial using a song called Chicken Fat from my childhood. I just looked it up and that post was from 10 years ago! (The song has quite an interesting history, at least in my humble opinion).
ReplyDeleteNice memories of the days when companies invested in high quality commercials. I don't like having to watch the Superbowl to catch a good commercial nowadays. One that comes to mind for me is the silly diddy, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner..." Haha.
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Birgit.
Aah. If I listen to these they will get stuck in my head, lol. Nowadays I DVR everything, so no idea what commercials are running.
