Actually the "music" is by Jack Nitzche (Starman theme) NOT Dan Black...... sampling something and sticking some beats over it doesn't constitute a writing credit. PLEASE alter the information on the video!
@leggylady You are absolutely correct. Jack Nitzche's score from master John Carpenter's hauntingly gorgeous film Starman deserves to be recognized as more than Dan Black's rip-off. One of the best films ever made, with one of the top scores ever written. P-L-E-A-S-E give credit to the original source of the music.
After seeing this advert I jumped on Amazon and grabbed a copy of Starman - I'd forgotten just how brilliant a movie it was. Good times! Thanks for the memory jog Virgin :D
Madness! :D

Such a tragic song when spoken when you know that everything is supposed to be the opposite of suggs' life.

killer backing music - a killer song , but they work better apart I think - I looked this up for the instrumental only and I love madness.

Best advert i've seen this year. It gave me a real nostalgic shiver when I realised what song it was.

Always been a fan of the band, and particularly liked this song, knowing the words intimately. When i heard it spoken as poetry, genius!
Shame they couldn't squeeze the other verse (Father gets up late for work...)
