Great songs in commercials... |
|
My vote for one of the greatest songs in a commercial goes to the Barilla Pasta commercial with the song in the background that's all in Italian...you know the one? It's fantastic! I FINALLY found out who sings it and what the title is:
Andrea Bocelli - "Mille Lune Mille Onda"
What's YOUR vote?

1. I like the Vonage Commercials Song |
|
Those are the commercials where someone does something incredibly painful/destructive, like running into a screendoor, or making a tree fall on their car....
"Woohoo woohoohoo woohoo woohoohoo...woohoo wohoohoo..."
(it's by the 5678s, a Japanese band, and they also performed this song in Kill Bill Vol. 1)

One of my clients, who has profound MR, will sometimes sing along with that when it is on.

31. My husband likes to sing along to it too |
|
But he starts singing too early, and though he has many talents, singing is not one of them, alas. But I love him anyway. :)

14. What is that song/artist in the Chase commercial? |
|
I've heard the song many times, but don't know who or what it is. I really hate that song, and I just want to know who it is so I can avoid their music. :shrug:

30. You mean 100 Years? There are several different songs used |
|
in various Chase commercials (the one I loathe the most is "Wind Beneath My Wings").
100 Years is by Five For Fighting.

19. Here's some of the lyrics... |
|
MILLE LUNE MILLE ONDE
Svegliati amore mio Che la notte è già passata Svegliati vieni qua fra le mie mani Nasce il sole
Non pensare al passato Quanta nebbia c’è là Stringimi e parlami ancora E vedrai si rivivrà
English translation:
A THOUSAND MOONS A THOUSAND WAVES
Wake up my love The night’s already over Wake up come here in my arms The sun is rising
Don’t think of the past All the mists that lie there Hold me tight and talk to me again And you’ll see we’ll live again
I LOVE this song!

22. Yep, I've heard it all. I'm a sucker for that one. |
|
So, did you live in Rome or was it a vacation. Either way, I'm jealous ;)

Greekspeak and I spent 10 days in Rome in March. It was a FANTASTIC trip! Rome is AMAZING! If you ever get a chance to go, DO IT!

24. I've come close, but never made my way to Rome. |
|
There are just so many amazing places on this globe to visit. And every time I visit a new place I end up wanting to move there :)
Well, one day, when finances allow, I'll make it to Rome. Until then I'll just re-watch "Roman Holiday" for the 100th time.

25. Greekspeak and I have talked about moving to Rome... |
|
I would be great to live there! The language barrier would have to be bridged though.

26. It wouldn't take long to learn it... |
|
Once you're immersed in a place where everyone speaks the language you catch on quick. I speak several languages (some better than others), but only because I actually had to use them at one time.

We actually met a girl from Alabama who was giving tours of St. Peter's Basillica. When I asked what she was doing, she said she was just giving tours and living in Rome! I was SO glad to find her too! She was great!

Italy's less than a couple of hours by plane from here - and is probably my favourite country (after England, obviously).
Italian food, Italian music, Italian clothes - got them all.
Italian art, Italian architecture, Italian men - lusted after them all :evilgrin:
Edit typo.

12. Radio commercial: Check Into Cash |
|
"You've got a cash emergency, you've got a money mayday. We take your personal check, and then we hold it till your payday."
Great song, great singer.

15. It's massively over-rused, and not technically a song |
|
but Carmina Burana really does kick arse - even when it's just the wee little bit that they use.

18. I liked that one where they had Air Supply singing "Air That I Breathe" |
|
Then they suddenly changed the singer for some reason and I didn't like it as much. I can't remember what the commercial was for. :shrug:
