You know the song from the Philips commercials? The one that goes, “I got to admit it’s getting better…getting better all the time.” Is that a full-length song? If so, who was the original artist?
I swear I recognized Neil Young’s voice from one of the early spots…
Umm … The first song was originally recorded by a British group called the Beatles. The title is “Getting Better”. It’s on “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, a CD available in some record stores. Ask the clerk to check in the “oldies” section.
1 - Theres this chevy ad about flat floors, so more legroom, which or may not be a good thing. Some girl’s kid brother tries to get smart with his sister’s friends. and then “JOEY!! CUT IT OUT!!!”
2 - This autmobile ad has some a weird dressed character in a hood in the countryside. He picks up lost sparrows and puts them back in their nest. The song is about some “daydream”.
Does anyone know the song of this ad??
I have more queries but can think of them right now. More later.
Argh. I know what song you are talking about. I know it’s an oldies song, on those oldies stations all the time. The weird dressed guy is the Grim Reaper, I believe. It looks like he’s going to hurt the sparrow but puts it back into their nest and dances away, right?
Can’t say if any of the commercials mentioned here are at this site, but it is pretty good if you are wondering about certain commercials and their songs.
Shortened the link for those with 19" monitors and smaller
The version on the automobile commercial was certainly not The Lovin’ Spoonful, though they are the original artists. It sounds alot like Leon Redbone singing the commercial. “What a Day for a Daydream” does not appear in his discography, but I know he has done some TV and commercial work before (a Tide detergent ad and, IIRC, the theme song from "Mr. Belvedere), and that song is right up his alley. If it’s the lyrics you like, get Lovin’ Spoonful’s version. If it’s the distinctive voice you liked, check out some of Leon’s stuff at CDNow.
