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.

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

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".

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 😂😂

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
