Chanel No. 5 with trains (#2)

[magesfolly]

This has always been a favorite of mine. Is it just me or is the scene from BLADE RUNNER where Deckard meets Rachel in the Tyrell building very similar to this?

[tommy2x4]

i've been made fun of when i state that the chanel # 5 commercials were my favorite. when i see them now, i'm still very impressed...

[NeoGee]

If they aired this ad now sales of Chanel No. 5 would go up, its still got that magic.

[diosceles]

Awesome ad. Looked for this for a long time. Thanks for posting!

[breejock]

Subliminal....can't you feel it.

[BasenjiOwner]

What is the name of the song???

Be it Bobby Short or other....

Does anybody know???

Thanks!

[KDAVIS5069]

I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire. Not sure who sang it on the commercial. Other posts suggest Bobby Short, others say the Ink Spots. Hard to say, and I'm no expert. I think it's Bobby Short because the Ink Spots re-make sounds slightly different. Either way, an awesome song!

[BasenjiOwner]

thanks!

[TheEloeo]

Charles = Deckard

Katherine = Rachael

This video transport me to my childhood in Mexico, watching this add, made me dream about traveling around the world.

I like the new chanel ad on the train in France. I think it's only been just released. I am trying to find it on you tube - ut with no luck. With Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

[Benovite]

It was directed by Ridley Scott!

[shosta007]

This is an excellent commercial.. But during 1978 in California, I saw several times a commercial in same style as this one, but it was still more intensive. I still think it is the best commercial I have ever seen. Could anyone point me to Chanel 5 commercials shown in that period??

[verobelmares]

disculpa que te escriba en español pero cuando era pequeña vi un comercial de channel con esta musica, el comercial estaba en el obelisco de washington la sombra del avion aparecia sobre la piscina despues sobre una chica en bikini negro con sombrero negro y despues se proyectaba de base a punta en el obelisco tu recuerdas haberlo visto?

[MrHanMi]

Wasn't there a 60-second version? I'd love to see that.

[shosta007]

Yes, please find it!! Shosta007 (Sorry for the negative vote: it was erroneously place by me.)

[DouglasUrantia]

i fixed your vote.......gorgeous commercial for sure...!!!

[ogunz1877611]

The most impressive, abstract, amazing commercial I have ever seen. It STILL gives me goosebumps 28 years after its release. Thank you whoever posted this. You made my year !!!

[DouglasUrantia]

Thats the late Bobby Short singing the tune in this commercial.

[dialtonedude]

That's The Ink Spots singing the song in

1941. Darn good harmony.They paved the

way for all the great 50s and 60s vocal

harmony groups. My fav Ink Spots tune.

[DouglasUrantia]

Not to argue Dialtonedude, but Bobby Short mentioned in his autobiography that he sang this song for the Chanel 5 commercials. None of the great Ink Spots sounded like Mr. Short, he was very unique. There is only one person on this vocal.

[dialtonedude]

You're right. On careful listeneing to both,

I can hear the difference. I stand corrected. This is a wonderful knock-off (they sound very much alike) that had me fooled for most of 30 years. Did Bobby record the entire tune, and can it be had?

[DouglasUrantia]

Dial:,,,,I sent you a private note.  To answer you...no, and no.

But I am sure that if you had requested him to sing it when he played in clubs, he would have been very happy to. Bobby Short was a class act if there ever was one.

[DouglasUrantia]

If anyone knows of an available Bobby Short version of this, please post info.

[Decker5926]

Are you sure that is Bobby Short? I have looked ALL OVER the net and I can't find any mention of him ever singing the song on any discography list... I have also listened to all of the versions I can find from the Ink Spots and I STILL have not heard THIS version...and it's the one I love most and BADLY want to find on mp3! :-(

[DouglasUrantia]

Over the years, Short came to represent the elegance and sophistication of New York with his tuxedoed appearance and repertoire of standards. As a result, he became attractive to advertisers, who frequently featured him in television commercials and print ads for such products as perfume and designer jeans.

[professoraudio]

Yes, it is Booby Short. I remember it being discussed when this ad came out.  Does anybody have a :60 version of this ad? I do, but it is poor quality.

[cwcowles]

Wish you would post the 60-second spot despite its quality. Thank you!

[mackftte]

I have searched for this many times, still as mesmerising as the first time I saw it, Thanks

[siusir]

One of the most mesmerizing commercial ever. That and the No. 5 one from the same period. Surreal...

[suziestew]

timeless...

ahh, the memory of days past...

blessings,
