Would you like your own John Lewis ad soundtrack?

[nowlook]

Take the song that was at no 1 on your 8th birthday and the artist at no 1 21 years later.

Mine's The Final Countdown by Leona Lewis.

Think that might just work....(particularly if you were born in the 1970s and therefore have access to power ballads)

Heart (Pet Shop Boys) by Calvin Harris 🤷🏻‍♀️

Merry Christmas everyone by Leona Lewis

I swear by Jason Derulo

Long Haired Lover from Liverpool by Mr Blobby!!!

Would I like that to be the soundtrack of my life? Err, no thanks!

I'm not saying what my song is because by co-incidence it has my real name in the title! But it would be sung by David Sneddon (whoever he is)

@SaveFerris1 You've gone classic there. I'm going to check that she hasn't actually wobbled and warbled her voice through that one already.

@ILoveYou3000 Unlucky, you've got the bounty there.

@RollercoasterCoaster Again, I think that would be unbecoming (nb, Prince Andrew, that's an appropriate use of the word) of the John Lewis partnership

Kung fu fighting by the Bee Gees 😂

Avihoot!!!!!!!

Two Little Boys sung by Iron Maiden!!

@Avihoot Nooo! Not the soundtrack of your life. We're just popping ourselves into John Lewis's creative agency to work out the theme toon for their next ad. I couldn't possibly leave you stranded with that one.

@Comefromaway David Sneddon was such a small sparkler in the overall fireworks of the pop world that we would be able to work out your name very easily from that. I won't though. And at least you get a couple of minutes' notice to name-change. Now, if I could just have your mother's maiden name...

The Stonk by Gotye ft Kimbra

@AngusThermopyle No doubt looking to flog their overpriced belts that year.

@boniobiscuit

Without You by Ellie Goulding.

Great, another warbler murdering a good song.

@Arewenearly YES!! We can have Rudolph "stick a red nose on his conk". And who better to noodle through than Gotye?

Well, mine is quite a mix.

Mistletoe and Wine by Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band.

@Soen That's the whole essence of a JL track. 1. Find decent song 2. Find breathless songstress 3. Have breathless songstress smoke 40 woodbines and then record said decent song 4. Rearrange so that the song starts half way through the second verse and is half a beat behind the music.

Are ‘friends’ Electric by
Kylie Minogue.
Now, that’s a song I want to hear.

Kiss (Prince) performed by The Proclaimers!

@Itis6oclocksomewhere Never fear. Cliff can get his teeth around Amarillo instead. We're just workshopping at this stage.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney To be fair, you should have held that one back and pitched it to JL directly

@Runningincircles Try doing Kiss in an exaggerated Scottish accent. It works for me.

Mint Royale - I wanna dance with somebody (who loves me)

Stand & Deliver - Eminem.

Not terribly festive......

Is anyone else too young for this to work

Mine is horrible. Blobby Mr blobby by Leona Lewis. Good game tho I can see it slowed down. Mr blobby all misty eyed at Noel's house party window watching all the fun without him before being welcomed in as the song takes off....

@firstbrightday

You may take the artist on your 8th birthday and the song 21 years before. And also enjoy the fact your knees don't click when you walk upstairs
