What's the song in the HP commercial?

What is the song in the HP commercial where the guy is taking picture frames from around his neck and the still picture stays in the frame?

I like the song, and the effects in the commercial - actually there’s a series of similar commercials - are pretty neat as well.

It’s “Picture Book” by the Kinks.

I believe The song is “Picture Book” by the Kinks.

This campaign uses songs by the Kinks – “Picture Book” and “People Take Pictures”. At the moment I can’t remember which song goes with which of the ads.

The HP commercials I have seen use “Pictures of You” by The Cure, not sure if this is one of them.

D’oh! not fast enough! :smack:

Upon reading the other replies I have to ask…there is a “People Take Picutres” ad isn’t there? Or did I hallucinate that all by myself?

Hey, consensus is always good! :slight_smile:

Yep, It’s this one.

Wow, glad I wasn’t the first one into the thread. I had no idea “Picture Book” was a cover; I was going to say it was by The Young Fresh Fellows.

Doesn’t Green Day’s ‘Warning’ bear great similarity to ‘Picture Book’?

Yes (a bit) on the Green Day question, IMHO.

To the OP:

You must run, not walk to your nearest music retailer (ok you can do it online) and buy The Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society. That is the LP on which you can find Picture Book, People Take Pictures of Each Other and many more excellent songs.

I really like this commercial too - especially the bit you mentioned where the guy puts picture frames over his head and lifts them off. It is a really neat effect.

Amen to that.
