I actually have a casette of Alice in Wonderland recorded on the same day in the same region - complete with adverts! eek!

I always remember that nescafe commercial from when I was a kid. I still love that song! La Colegiala by Rodolfo. Thanks for posting these great old ads. I have to capture and post some off of my old tapes as well!

Yes, that was the song used in one of the memorable Carling adverts. I also seem to remember the Kleenex advert. I think it was filmed in Italy probably because of the classical piece used. It was also used in the 1996 Heineken Export advert. Any ideas of the name of the classical piece?

I have to admit that I do like the smell of unlit Erinmore tobacco. Wouldn't dream of smoking the stuff, though.

Could anyone PLEASE help me? I would like to know the title of the song in the Nescafe Commercial. I don't know the language, so it's pretty hopeless trying to spell the words and search for lyrics.

Search for "aicardi Q.E.P.D 2007" on YouTube.

Patrick Allen voices for Texas I think (not Tommy Vance, though they sound quite similar).

Unfortunately Carling Black Label clearly couldn't get the rights to the actual "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" ...
