TV ads

[Corabar Steve]

Has anyone found they get requests for suff used in ads?

Or have you heard something in an ad & thought I'll give that a try?

At last Sundays wedding, whilst looking for something else I stumbled across "Sailor - Glass of champagne" & thought what the hell let's give it a go. Very good reaction! :teeth:

I took a risk & it paid off, I might add that it wasn't a particularly well attended do, in a 2 room venue & being a lovely evening quite a few were also outside. It actually increased the ammount of people dancing!!!!!! :omg: :teeth:
I'm not sure if I'd've tried it if I'd had a full dancefloor though :teeth:

Don't think I've heard of that (or recognise it by name). What ad is it from?

[alexperrins]

I've had a few people ask for the T-Mobile ad. Bedouin Sounclash - When The Night Feels My Song. Not particularly dancable though. :)

Can't remember off the top of my head, I heard it in the background a while ago which reminded me. It came out in 1975 & was one of my favourites at the time. I'll post up when I see it again

Think I'll try "the Kingsmen - Louie Louie" (Matalan) tonight :teeth: It's about time I got to play some real Garage at a gig :teeth:

While we are on the subject, anybody know what the song on the K-Swiss advert is? Goes "Monkey see, monkey do, new york city and I'm with you!"

[BeerFunk]

There have been loads of tracks which have actually been broken into success through TV Ad use - Mr Oizo - Flat Beat, Les Rhythmes Digitales - Jacques Your Body (Re-release), Room 5 - Make Luv, that dancey Indian-style one from the Peugeot Ad I can't remember the name of (:)) to name but a few

Just had a listen to that, do you mean the 2 sections in She's In Parties which is rap-like? I can see the comparison, but 'note for note' is harsh!!

I was?


Actually yes I was :embarasse , isn't there a site that lists advert music?

We have a convert :teeth:

We also had that requested a couple of times over the last month :)

However, i would say that the most requests we have had over the last month for a particular song would be:

David Guetta vs The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)

Which started life as a TV ad...if that counts :teeth:

Yeah, true, but as a house fan, I would like to add that I think it's rubbish! :)

[alexperrins]

Hey, I'm a huge house fan & I think it's brilliant! :) Though, it has been in the clubs long before it was an advert!

[Danno13]

They were also two different tracks that were both good in their own right anyway.. but good mashup none the less.

Played Nina Simone vs Groovefinder quite a lot when the Muller Ads were on. I remember Happy Together by the Turtles was in an ad once, which prompted me to play it a bit more..

I 've been playing that at the end of my shows for quite a while.

That, and the theme from Taxi, depending on what kind of night it's been.

I met one of the guys in sailor a few years ago at one of my gigs.

He is now a school teacher, and he came and asked me to play one of his tunes, as the kids from his school didn't believe he had had hit records.

I think I played girls girls girls though.

[Have a disco]

Malcolm McClaren British Airways song still sticks in my mind as all time great

[Corabar Steve]

Bedouin Sounclash - When The Night Feels My Song. Not particularly dancable though. :)
I had a fair few dance to it on Friday night
