h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

1st link. Doesn't contain the advert I wanted to know about.

2nd link. "Title not known". Helpful, that.

I can't find either of the ones I was curious about either. I shall have to keep my mobile phone handy next time I am watching telly, although it will be no good for the Magnum add because some woman talks all over that one!

Not the right Volvic man & dinsoaur then?

No, it's the right ad. I'm just miffed that no-one can tell me where to get a copy of the tune.

B

Where'd they get the music for the car ad with the runners behind it going through a building site and a car wash?

there was some really cool music on john lewis adverts. i cant remeber how it goes at all but i thought it was really cool at the time.

Alex!

Another one I'd like to get my hands on.

B

I caught the ad on the TV just now - it's for Nissan X-Trails

Just looked it up:

'Quem Que Cagüetou' by 'Tejo, Black Alien, Speed'

Sounds about right...

And if that's the right track, then I think this is the album:

Oh cool...

B

How about the screaming woman song then? Think it might be one of the England / Euro 2004 songs.

PP

if your thinking about the song on the bbc coveridge of euro04 i think its Basement jaxx ---> i'm not too sure but if i think the song is called 'good luck'

And as regards the John Lewis advert - it's available for free download from the label's site:

Master B:

Appears the Volvic caveman advert music is not for public release:

Nor is the Coca Cola one it appears:

Both have been composed specifically for the adverts in question.

Hope that clears things up

Lizzbett:

The i-tunes advert music is 'Ride' by The Vines:

Can't find any info yet about the Magnum Truffle advert - but I'm only quickly looking

Thanks for that, Witty Ditty.

The Magnum advert is actually for Magnum Intense, which is probably why I can't find it because I've been looking under the wrong name.

I'm finding that you need to be really accurate with your information on some of the 'advert' websites - eg, Peugeot didn't find anything on one site but Peugeot 407 brought up the add I was looking for - and misspelling brand names is not helpful!
