Fun!!!
While I was lamenting Christmas advertising that vexes me (cough, Jaguar, cough, cough), I forgot to mention some of my favorites. One I haven’t seen for a few years (wish I had recorded it) was a surrealistic ad for Chanel No. 5 accompanied by the Inkspots singing I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire.
This is just on of the fun nuggets of advertising meets music listed on the Music from TV Commercials site. Thanks to a link from Just Your Average Catholic Guy.

This site even tells where to find the tunes you must have. In a moment of wild abandon last year, I did buy Nick Drake’s Pink Moon simply on the basis of the VW commercial. The whole album is good - which was a relief, because I usually don’t make CD impulse purchases. Maybe I’ll track down the Inkspots next. Then get a small bottle of Chanel No. 5......Just a tiny bottle, because my mother wore Chanel No. 5 and wearing it would seem like I was trying to be her. Well, I could stand to be more like her, but the Chanel is probably not where I need to start.
