After last years brilliant campaign and wonderful song by Slow Moving Millie I am really looking forward to this years effort even though it's only October.

I have heard on the grapevine that the song being used this year is Frankie Goes to Hollywoods 'The Power of Love' but re done by the utterly brilliant Imogen Heap.

Should be well worth waiting for.

Which INXS song? Have I missed something (as usual). I like Paloma Faith, she's a poppet!

Sparklingbrook · 06/10/2012 16:16

'Never tear us apart' is the INXS song in the latest ad Frontpaw.

Now if Morrissey had agreed to let JL use Shoplifters of the World Unite, I'd have a shed load of respect for him...

I dont watch adverts,they are for common people.

YouMayLogOut · 06/10/2012 17:44

How do you know if you don't watch them Bonny? Grin

BonnyDay · 06/10/2012 17:49

i know of their existence, like you might know of DFS sofas

I loved the JL advert... I am not particularly gooey or sentimental, but it had me bawling, and if I talk about it to other people, I get feckin' teary!

Damn you JL!

Numberlock · 06/10/2012 17:52

But don't you want to live like common people, Bonny?

It's only fucking October Shock

Imogen Heap is a genius not a 'Whiney Female' Its also a classic christmas song if thats the one thats being done.

I expected more from a City fan balotelli Wink

Is the CocaCola advertisement the one with the girl ice-skating and you see her grow up and have her own family? I think it's lovely.

I like the current JL one, so I hope the Christmas one is as good (although I think 6th October is a little bit too early to mention it. We have Hallowe'en, All Saints' Day, Bonfire Night, St. Andrew's Day, my birthday etc. etc. to get through first!).

I didn't realise Baby Pasta was a Thing. My DCs (entering puberty) still have it regularly because it cooks quicker and I'm running late, special little alphabet letters from the local Portuguese deli, which we used to use for literacy games.Do I win MNiest MNer of the day? Or will bonny take out a hit on me?

balotelli · 06/10/2012 21:31

As a City fan I have wonderful taste . Imogen Hope is a genius as are Puressence and the JL ads are better than most of the shit programmes.... apart from MOTD where we win the title....... AGAIN Grin
