Bang on the money. I absolutely detest this latest marketing craze of doing some hipster arrangement of a song. I swear every other advert features a "reinvented" song like this. Boils my piss!

I was expecting to already see it mentioned here, but clearly you're all liking it!

The new Warburton advert with Sylvester Stallone:

Just why? How desperate is he for work or £££££.

I enjoyed this. SS running up the steps of Bolton town hall was funny.

I liked it as well.

After all he may be just needing to top up his pension fund.

Same here, thought it was great!

There's a new EDF ad which is dubbed into English. WTF? Do we not give EDF enough squillions every year for them to film their ad in English?

Just saw this one for the first time....The dubbing is terrible!, they haven't even attempted to match the actors mouths to anything said.

If you want to see some truly awful dubbing check out the current Scholl gel insoles advert. It's worse than an early Bruce Lee film.

Off topic but if you want really bad dubbing check out an old 70's TV series - The Flashing Blade - Their mouths moved and the words came out in next weeks episode

And to cap it all, a crappy moany slow version of 'Knocking on Heavens Door' at the end of "The 100" last night. Not an advert, true, but still.

Yes, we had a page or two dedicated to various denunciations of that advert, but if you've just seen it no-one will blame you for mentioning how fking awful it is.

The advert in question is called "quality time" and was commissioned by Nick Dudman, the branding marketing manager at Allianz and made by Oli O’Neill and Behrad Taherparvar at 18 Feet And Rising, to give blame where it's due.

Ditto, the Postie bloke sounds like a pervert.

That girl with the "Level Head, balancing books" whatever it is for.

And some fancy tea one (Twinings ?) with a pretty, happy go lucky girl dancing through a sort of mosaic world, sorry but fancy tea adverts just put me in mind of crazy Cat ladies, seems like the target market.

I just looked up who it was: Raign, from X Factor last year, apparently.

Because it's just as emasculating as all other modern ads? (OT: your username always makes me giggle)

Another vote here for the Renault Zoe ad - I hope Paul Weller finds out who signed that song off so he can publicly murder them!

[RemyMartin]

Im dancing...Im moonwalking!

fk off forever.

They seem to do that a lot on US TV-long lingering shots of the cast doing sweet FA ,to the tune of some old song being murdered,or some new indie tune the producers think is cool/whose singer gave kickbacks/BJs!

I didn't watch that, but you're not referring to the Dylan original are you?

[kowalski655]

No...this one was crap

[ajprice]

As said before, she's called Raign, she was on X Factor, I've never heard of her before. This is the song https://youtu.be/mknLaFJZ4v4

The Ford eco 4*4 thing advert about keyless entry.

The guy in just some speedo's and smirking about where he has hidden his keyt, and the music is the lollipop song and even uses the 'pop' effect as he gets to the car.

So he has the key up his arse then does he, how lovely.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
