No, you are not slow, it seems more you might be a little deaf if you don't literally hear the terrific build-up of the aggression of the people pictured in that phantastic intro, until the moment the (bandana-)lady at 1:34 finds the money and looks totally astonished in the very moment the guitar riff starts - that is so greatly done that I can't imagine any other track for this idea. And after all, it's money for nothing, isn't it...  ;)

"Excellent..."

Of course I was half deaf. I was listening to "Tweedledee and Tweedledum" three times in a row before I watched the ad.

You are starting to remember Bob's song titles, so there is some hope...

On a side note I was watching a tiny bit of XFactor the other day (God awful Programme that I never watch but was on at friends) and they were using MFN during some of the show..... it made the show slightly less painful  8)

Just contend yourself with the fact that the only reason people are asking is because they obviously like the song.  :)

Yeah you are right, feel better about it today anyway. It's a fact that this song is a "real" classic, it is 26 years old, and new generations are coming up and discover new stuff... It is the constant repeat of always the same posts that I find so strange. The ad is on my daily "good laugh" list for nearly a week now, I still like it very much.

Where do they show this, on TV? A two-minute commercial? Probably *cheap*.

A well devised ad. I kind of remember another ad back in the early nineties with So far away as background music, at a Wash and Go product. The only connection I could find between the lyrics and the product, was so obvious that it made me think that we are in Greek and most people won't get it at all, no matter if we a high percentage speaks English. But the aesthetics of the whole commercial, brrrrrrrr, sends shivers down my spine. Needless to say I never washed my hair with that product. On the other hand the ad company's  mission  was successful, since I still remember the product.

And why oh why do they allow songs for ads? And don't tell me it's all about the money. I am willing to accept it from the ones in need of money, only, and yet with some exceptions. I was reading about Pink Floyd having to veto the use of their music, even though Rick Wright once gave the Great gig in the sky for a pain killer pill. He bravely admitted that he did it for money. Surely enough he wouldn't do it just for applause....
Come on, it is not funny anymore.
