I love this TV ad:

....but can you name the singer? NO CHEATING at the back and don't tell if you do know the answer.

Lemmy out of Motorhead?

 

[wafflycat]

Nah, it's Celine Dion.

Mind-numbingly saccherine-sweet advert. *blech*

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Bah!

I'm not allowed youtube at work so I can't play!

As a wild guess, is it Butros Butros Gali?

 

[accountantpete]

Gordon Brown on bended knee to Gillian Duffy?

It was really a mash-up of sounds* from Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and Samantha Fox.


*(whatever a mash-up of sounds is)

I like that ad, and the song... the singer is Tony Blair, IIRC.

It's a whiney American whose initials are a rather rude abbreviation.
I think for the sake of completeness they should show her as a corpse at the end

John Lewis don't do coffins do they?

Never knowingly under-taken

This advert appears to have gone viral now. I have to say it caught me a bit unawares when I first saw it on TV. Cheezier than a quattro fromaggi with extra cheese in the cold light of day, but a very skillful piece of advertising/emotional manipulation.

 

[Globalti]

Sorry - what does "gone viral" mean? Spread like a bad cold?

It's as good as the Compare the Meerkat campaign, which I think is fantastic.

 

[twowheelsgood]

It means it's being spread through the internet in places like this. It's in the Daily Mail and other forums too.
