Other than the song "CARS", I don't think any of Gary's works have been used in commercials. That's too bad. He can come up with some good jingles, like he did with a try at a 7-UP ad.
@chunkymonkey1966 regardless, commercials never helped anyones career and if it wasnt for diehard Numanoids, that are dying off daily btw, he'd long be an after thought in some syntthesizer joke punchline
It makes me wonder. I saw this back in 1979 and thanks to the Miracle of 'You Tube' I can find things lost in my deep memory. Now what if? Gary Numan released a full length version of the song coupled with a video along the advert lines but with a little addition-the Autons from Dr Who. Yes it would have copyright issues but the scope is enormous and a blistering combination is perfectly possible.
@TheGodParticle I looked it up on the internet. It looks like Lee Cooper jeans are only sold on the continent in Europe. I doubt they were ever in the US although I could be wrong, and it looks like they quit the UK a long time ago now.
Great music/advert. This is the version of the advert as originally broadcast and can be compared with the revised advertisement uploaded elsewhere on youtube.

The truth about this advert is that for the Untited Kingdom this was tuly one of the first modern looking adverts.
1979: this was post-punk,but the style is very intuned with punk 1976-1977.
I also remember at the time an advert for Foster grant sunglasses (tasty tarts).
Does anyone know where you can see this advert?
