Marks and Spencer Advert: A Glass of Champagne by Sailor

[Vennegoor10]

Ah the heady days when Marks and Spencer tried to be a bit classy instead of marketing to X Factor viewers.

[derekthesec]

Lovely advert and lovely song

[samspadexxx]

This is an advert i can watch again and again, and just how elegant is Erin?, gorgeous.

[80snessEj]

Twiggy looks VERY good 4 her age!

[poptopia1]

nice use of a classic song

[SpeedbirdAircrew]

This was the first advert in this series that M&S did and i remember seeing for the first time at work and the whole room was drawn to it and could'nt stop watching - then M&S do it right they do it very right

[flicker66]

Harry is right: you can hear that it's influenced directly by Virginia Plain. Those piano chords and the singer's Ferryesque delivery especially the "cham-paeeeeegne" bit!

[CapKSailor]

Tx for Marks and Spencer to choose one of the best songs of all time (It is, but only in this Sailor-Original-Version): SAILOR ~ A Glass Of Champagne !  :)

[serventofdharok]

scooters version is better :p hardcore!

[IngridBerg]

Oh my God!, they all look SO glamorous!!! I wish I had the jacket Twiggy's wearing on 00.38-00.39! :D

[c130mover]

M&S got this one right!!

[54spiritedwill54]

cool one of the girls is Elizabeth Jagger

[monohootan]

[cheesyfeet567]

[monohootan]

Thanks a lot. This is the one....

[DaneBarkerFinch]

I think Erin O'Connor, Laura Bailey and Twiggy lawson look just as good as Noemie Lenoir!

[realshiznit]

All the other "models" look ugly compared to Noemie

[kuikapono]

i agree!

[xxxlilcuti2906xxx]

Ha! I love this song! I have finally found it!!!

[Xxfancythat79xX]

omg i always thought this was Roxy music lol

[HarryW1234]

Sailor's drummer, Grant Serpell, explained once in an interview that the song was inspired by Roxy Music's Virginia Plain. Sailor's lead singer and song writer, Georg Kajanus, was hugely impressed by the Roxy Music song.

I like the vocal line and the strange European vowel sounds (to an English-speaker). The sound of the band is strangely modern, the 2 keyboards, plus synths, it reminds me of some 80's Depeche Mode.

[backjack81]

georg [no "e") kajanus is one of the members of the original group Sailor.

[BeccyBaybii]

i havnt seen this before! is it new??

[xxsaranyaxx]

WAT DA HEL DER NT ALL TWIGGY R THEY????? all the young ones arent. reply x

[HappyDaze01]

So all that stuff can be bought at M&S, eh. I wonder what the menswear section is like.

[SkalovesSkittles]

Haha erin o'connor's face at 00:18 is so funny

[Roliasserpell]

Sailor ist nicht zu toppen.Weiter so!¨!!!!!!

[mayabub]

wow noemie lenoir looks sooo pretty in this add!!...

[AdmiralJarvis]

This is my favourite of the new 'Twiggy' M&S ads. Loved the song; loved the iconic images of London. Good ol' M&S.

[samspadexxx]

Erin O'Connar (tall, short hair) is gorgeous, but she needs a few dinners inside her, way too skinny.

I love this ad, thanks for posting it.

Wrong Girl - Try Again for 1 point

[samspadexxx]

Sorry, i was not trying to answer your question, i was just making a comment, Pollilottie has given you her name.

[xptbx]

Thanx 4 clearing up that

[xptbx]

Anybody know the name of the real beauty of this ad campaign - the mixed race girl with curly-perm hair?

[Pottilottie]

noemie lenoir...she was in rush hour 3 aswel!...she's shaved off her hair for the movie

[ladypinkfloyd]

she is my idol!!! so beautiful and wonderful!!! great vid!!!

[Laety]

I love liz jagger! she looks absolutely bril

[robbat82]

I´ve got the music,I´ve got the lights

you got the figure full of delights...

LIZZY JAGGER IS PURE SEX!!!!!!!! LUV HER!

[kannaplant]

cool one of the girls is Elizabeth Jagger

[marcusbondi]

Brilliant song; amazing. Somehow i think GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS would suit this ad better - but the slack agency creative hasn't the bottle to do it.

[jasonrattue]

Good point - but isn't that the problem with these, so called, 'crestives'. Luckily, a few months in North Oxhordshire taught me how prescriptive design/ideas is/are these days.

[weloveannanetrebko]

no it would't, that would make the models seem conceited and ruint the brand. This song is happier and cooler, which is why you're not in the M&S marketing team!

[jasonrattue]

Fair enough - i'm not! Don't get me wrong, i really like the work that this agency are producing. But, i just find most ideas & 'creative' choices predictable. I mean, look what a bit of risk taking did for Tango.
