This whole advert is a rip-off. The ‘photos’ idea came from various Japanese videos on Youtube. It’s really put me off Land Rover, but I know it’s not really a big problem for them, seeing as I can’t afford one anyway!

[...] Moving Millie, who provides the music to the Virgin Media backlot advert, and an explanation of why the track on the Land Rover advert is NOT by Noah and the Whale. See the latest ads [...]

Totally agree Deke. As soon as I first heard it I thought it was Noah. My son suggested that it might be from a new Noah album given that the style was, to intent and purposes, identical. Whoever did the due diligence may be having some sleepless nights if Noah choose to pursue a claim.

What’s really annoying is that I drive a Land Rover…

Basically anyone who tries to deny that the tune on the ad is only accidentally similar to The Whales track is lying through his or her teeth. Certainly the chords are different inasmuch as they’ve left out one passing chord, and the melody lines don’t actually tie up exactly when played side by side, but everything about it screams ’5 years time’.

I thought it was The Whales selling out and writing a soundalike. If this isn’t a rip-off then I’m starting a new career writing advertising jingles.
