Ford Fiesta Zetec

[greendemon]

there's a new one for barclaycard that uses 'days' by the drums. i can't find a video for the ad on youtube, but here's the official video:

[greendemon]

It's always in the last place you look.

Do covers count at all?

[greendemon]

why wouldn't they?

[Deleted]

Well, I'm suprised this one was missed, only to wonder that the possibility is that a cover is used and not the original.....

Lucozade = Feeder "Buck Rogers" (cover by The James Cleaver Quintet)

Anyone know what the costa coffee ad music is where they're all buried in coffee beans?

[greendemon]

ooh, speaking of feeder, there's a car ad that uses 'pushing the senses' but not being remotely interested in cars, i can't remember which it is... any clues?

I think it's for Vauxhall - just a general one rather than being for any particular car.

[Deleted]

The Vauxhall one is an instrumental version from some promo CD for advertisers, but seemingly mashed it up with the commercial version, so you hear lyrics in places.
