edith piaf and specsavers
Posted by richie vicious on 30 January 2008 - 9:37pm.
who on earth came up with the idea of using footage of edith piaf pouring out je ne regrette rien
and then adding 'comedy' translation about wishing she'd got her glasses from specsavers?
what next
johhny cash doing hurt, 'but thank heavens for nurofen"?

Edith Piaf
I quite like that ad. Then again, I can sing you the Shake'n'Vac ad.
surely not
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about my steradent
(repeat and fade)
must be the same guy
who thought to use the Dad's Army theme on the ad for the bum slapping, owned by the yanks, supermarket...weird.
Oh and wasnt a bastardised Dylan track used for a furniture ad?
I always thought
that Edith Piaf's singing was a dreadful bloody noise
Should have gone to
Hearingaidsavers
Commercial success
The Fall advertising Mitsubishi, Billy Childish advertising ASDA.
Who'd have thought we'd live so long?
"1001
Cleans a big, big carpet
For less than half a crown!"
The Empty Vessels (pre Wishbone Ash) used to do that jingle in their shows in the 60's.
This may not be relevant, but nonetheless certainly falls under the heading of obscure rock/TV advert trivia.
Not as bad as that Nina Simone Yoghurt ad
Here's a comment/rant that i prepared earlier
On the 'oh no you don't' side of things...
... The Man in Black's family wouldn't allow 'Ring of Fire' to be used in an ad for haemorrhoid cream. Pah.
