John Lewis advert

[Raahh]

Posted on the X Factor thread, but it is so lovely, it deserves a thread of it's own.

And in case you are wondering who the singer is, and how Morrissey could have agreed to such a thing-

nah dont believe a kid would ever do that

me neither, but it's so cute.

All the bits of being too excited and wishing the days away, reminds me of being a kid.

It worked on me...sniff.

Awful cover version. Moz is obviously needing money for the his court case.

I do like how they have references to Se7en, The Shining and The Omen in the ad though - v. Sinister

And it cost £5million to make

here you can get some lovely Emile & Rose outfits for half the price. They come up big so 3-6 will still fit long after, unless your DD is especially huge.

They have other brands as well and loads of offers but I do heart E&R.

Er - ignore that, was for another thread!

Oh it was lovely!

Had me blubbing...was I the only one?

I am not going to survive christmas tv with that on all the time...

Tears in my eyes, didn't see it coming! Think that's really lovely. Must be getting soppy, I blame this cold I've got.

Ricecakes I have a cold too. That's got to be it.

The advert's okay. I hate that version of one of my favourite songs. Agree with redlac about Morrissey probably needing the money.

Off to look up the film references. With the sound turned down.

Morrissey gave permission, because he will make a fortune!! If he wrote it of course

don't really like the song, but love the advert and that little boy!
sniff sniff

Oh its lovely, and really sweet.

I am very jealous that the parents dont get woken up until its light

I loved that one they did with the girl in the red dress growing up to be an old lady as well. I'm clearly a sucker for John Lewis!

If he wrote ????? Of course he wrote it! He is the best songwriter since Lennon & McCartney - pity he has given the rights to one of his best songs to be sung by a fuckin awful singer

limitedperiodonly I got the Shining one and the Se7en one straight away but can't remember ever watching the omen so struggling with that one. I'm sure they didn't mean for those references but some smart Alec's on YouTube spotted them straight away

Nice job JL, if for no other reason they haven't given the game away about Santa. And there's not a crap x-factor contestant in sight.

Hate the cover. Why couldn;t they just use the original? Sickly sweet

OFGS people GET A GRIP!!

crappy, twee, sentimental old TOSH.

I have now seen it once but will unfortunately have to see it a bajillion times before Christmas.
It's ok. I only remember the song because i think it was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I didn't get any of them. And I've watched all those films several times. Give me a clue, please. Actually, just tell me.

Se7en? So he's giving his parents a severed head? Well that's just ruined it for me ....
