Another Glass and a Half Full Production from ad production company Fallon, this one promoting Cadbury’s plan to get the whole country playing games against each other in the run up to London 2012 (where Cadbury’s will be “Official Treat Provider”). This version of the ad features the early 1940s song Hotcha Cornya by comedy musician and bandleader Spike Jones, with his band the City Slickers. It’s a pastiche of a popular Russian song called Dark Eyes (Ochi Chyornye), which is set to a piece of music by Florian Hermann. Future versions of the ad are planned to feature different songs.
This track was commissioned from Australian musician and composer Warren Ellis who also provided the music for the Sony Cameras Foam City ad, and has soundtracked various movies, including the recent The Road. Russian Model Yulia Lobova wears a dress designed by Anthony Price. The advert was directed by Baillie Walsh.
Interesting little video about making chocolate. The track is from The Charlatans album ‘Melting Pot’ (Best of), it was their first top ten hit getting to No.9 and was on the CD version of the ‘Some Friendly’ album.
