Interesting. It's certainly a catchy tune :-)

Presumably via an ad agency. Ostensibly very much a targeted campaign at the white van man market, but I expect it's ultimately aimed at hoping to reel more casual hardware consumers in. I expect you know the answer to that but you may not be able to respond, which I understand.

My ex-wife was a commercial radio programme controller when I met her. It found it a bit of a weird world tbh. Quite artificial and soulless.

You've basically just reverse engineered the brief there GDM.

NDA prevents me from divulging who commissioned the music but I can relate to your impression of commercial radio via your ex-wife. Worked in radio creative for 18 years.

I thought Liverpool won the league that season.

They did.



In April.

I find people with idiosyncratic professions fascinating. I'd love to hear about the whole process of creating a commercial advert.

She ran Century Radio in the East Midlands which later turned into Heart. She's got the dubious honour of relieving Kenny Burns, Garry Birtles and Darren Fletcher of their positions when they worked there covering East Midlands football, as the station was aiming at a more female market. That was probably the making of Fletcher tbh, as it forced him to look elsewhere and he landed a job at the BBC soon after. Birtles was a nice guy, but Burns was insufferable with..errr....highly questionable political beliefs. It might not come as too much of a shock to hear he quite liked a drink. Terrible, terrible drunk. I've just recalled he won the national lottery when he was there, which made him even more unbearable. Not a life changing amount, but a decent whack.

It's funny the things you remember.

Can't see that being very interesting. Mike's notoriously taciturn and doesn't have a lot to say for himself.

We may be surprised, Mr Kelly informed that he spent an enjoyable couple of hours with buzzer.

Good man GDM. I wrote that jingle for my sins.

I love finding out little snippets like this. Fair play to you mate. Bluemoon, ruining advertising since............

Just in case you were thinking of having a listen tonight,don't bother. Shrek wankfest. Shaun Derry with the gem "how many times has Rooney carried the England team?"

2004 in the World Cup he was the main man under Sven since then he has been appalling in major international competitions for England scoring all his goals in qualifying games against shite teams..

You weren't offensive enough, try telling them you're a woman beating misogynist deviant next time.

Or a horse-abusing Scouser.

You're bound to get on then!

Have you heard the song 'Rex Bob Lowenstein' by Mark Germino?

World Cup was 2002 and 2006.
It was the Euros at Portugal in 04 and he limped out of the tournament (as I think he did in Germany 06??)
