To think she says "tuna"

Help me out kind MN'ers.

I'm talking about the Dior J'Adore perfume ad...

Right at the start, before the woman starts randomly saying "Flash---light" over the music. There is one single word.

Now I've heard "tuna" I can't hear anything else!

Is it just me?

@HarrietOh

Hmmm I can sort of see it but then the 'p' sound at the end is quite distinctive?
I haven't got a t.v so don't see many adverts, there not getting any better are they ?😂 I hear chin up.

I’m glad someone else noticed the ‘fucking pie’ lyric 😂 I refuse to sing Pumpkin pie.

Ironfloor269 · 10/03/2021 13:38

Is she trying to tell us in code that J'Adore actually smells like tuna?

pinkstripeycat · 10/03/2021 13:45

Isn’t it je ne? I put my French ears on to avoid hearing tuna Altho it does sound like chin up.

anamazingfind · 10/03/2021 13:46

Oh that fucking pumpkin pie every Christmas! Makes Christmas songs bearable 🤣🤣🤣

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 10/03/2021 14:21

Let's not even start on the mis-heard lyrics. I've got some corkers. Grin

er, no. She clearly pronounces the p at the end in chin-up.

Unless you pronounce tuna as chenup.

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 10/03/2021 14:31

Obviously the sound on my PC is far superior to that on my TV, I can clearly hear the "P" on the link HarrietOh provided.

I think I'll still say "tuna" when it starts though.

MMmm, fish pie......

From Bohemian Rhapsody - my sister singing along: "Is this real life, is this just Battersea", and later on "Spare him his life from his warm sausages".

Liquidsmoke · 11/03/2021 01:22

What’s the name of the actual track playing? The one with the flash...lights bit?

APJ1 · 11/03/2021 06:45

^ It's 'Flashing Lights' by Kanye West.

How about Charlotte Tilbury advert, she started WHAT?

FrankButchersDickieBow · 11/03/2021 06:53

There's a Paco Robanne one for aftershave, where they're riding on a motorbike. The song at the end sounds like it says "21st Century tits on men" 🤣

NancyPickford · 11/03/2021 08:52

@FrankButchersDickieBow - it’s “21st Century Schizoid Man”.

Bairnsmum05 · 11/03/2021 09:19

Yes!! So glad I read this, I thought i was going mad. I wasn't looking at the TV then when I heard the word Tuna I looked up and thought that's odd, it doesn't really fit with a perfume advert 😂😂

Higher Love - for me will always be ‘Bring me and iron lung’

Seeline · 11/03/2021 09:24

IT's definitely Tuna. I've seen it several times, and it really doesn't sound like anything else. I never understand perfume ads Confused

FidgetWonkham · 11/03/2021 09:28

I hear Tune up.

TheMatryoshka · 11/03/2021 09:32

Lol it's definitely NOT tuna but I wish it were Grin

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 11/03/2021 09:35

I like tuna, but I wouldn't want to smell of it Grin Someone definitely says Tuna!

Xiaoxiong · 11/03/2021 09:48

I hear "chin up" but I'm not English.

Lots of English accents replace t with a ch + y sound - so the word "tune" becomes "chyune" or Tuesday is "chewsday". And the word "tuna" becomes "chewna", so an American saying "chin uh(p)" is a pretty good approximation of that.

Youllbeoldertoo · 11/03/2021 09:50

That song just reminds me of the film “sing”

EstuaryBird · 11/03/2021 10:02

I definitely hear Tuna
