  • Geez, this must have taken ages to get right...

  • i love starlings

  • How can 5 people 'dislike' this?!

  • epic 5 stars

  • disgusting that a cheap horrible beer has used a natural spectacle such as this for advertising.

  • i remember when this was on the tele

    briliant ad

  • wow! is this real?!

    the music goes well with it

    and i love the word "belong"!

  • yeah its real

  • still the best advert i've ever seen. who made it?

  • carling beer.

  • I was thinking more... ad agency? producer?

  • ah i see. sorry :L

  • clever!

  • This advert is awsome!!!! I love it and the song is brill :) :D

  • Living for the Weekend by Hard-Fi

  • this song is absolutely epic

  • i love this song

  • The world has amazing things.

  • Hey sorry guys for my rubbish comments.

  • omg I'm listening to this song right now and I came across this :D :O

  • i love this song!!

  • I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE THIS AD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though the song absolutely rocks, the starlings actually going home.

    "going out tonight, going out tonight"

    That song rocks!

  • "the starlings actually going home"

    No, no.... if you look closely, you'll see that all the male starlings are actually flying over to the "pub" tree.

    The smaller tree beside it's the doner kebab place.

  • Lol, nice take on that ;)

  • Stop fucking asking what track this is? its been asked and answered 5 times already. MAN I LOVE THIS AD!

  • Hard Fi - Living For The Weekend

  • lmao chrisman

  • i saw this after the coke CG inside coke machine ad and thought this is miles better and probably cost nothing to make.The power of simplicity.

  • Cost nothing to make? Pah! You've obviously never worked with ad agencies!

  • thankyou

  • does any1 no wot this song is called it is wicked!!

  • the song is by hardfi - "living for the weekend"

  • what's the connection?

    uhhhh carling commercial with starlings

    carling

    starling

    HRMMMMM

  • People that drink Carling (and other mainstream lagers) are unimaginative and just do what thier mates do... think of the same advert, but with sheep wandering around a field.

  • How about a lot of people drink it cos drinks like that are enjoyable?! personally i think id rather drink piss than expensive wine or champagne.. personal preference ye?

  • whats this song called ? any1 know ?

  • Saw the comment about "what's this got to do with Carling?". Carling markets exclusively to (bird-brained) men in their early twenties. These men (in general) like to do what all their mates are doing. Belong. Don't think for yourself. Believe you like our beer more than the others. Flock. Get it?

  • This advert is ****** brilliant and totally evil for exactly that reason.

    It's such naked and to-the-point distillation of what other beer ads are trying to do... it knows *exactly* what is important to most guys in their teens and early twenties. It knows exactly which buttons to press and it does it so obviously and brilliantly.

  • It's a smart idea that isn't too smart for its own good. I think the music is just as important- it's a great tune, and it wasn't until I saw this ad that I realised Hard-Fi did it. Should have got to number one.

    Anyway, it wasn't that the footage of the birds impressed me in itself- it's cool, but I'd seen stuff like this before. It's the way that the whole ad works together so simply but fantastically.

    Evil, manipulative, brilliant advert.

  • legend of a song

  • Legend of a video too. It's by Matt Pyke who runs Universal Everything but used to be part of The Designers Republic. Not heard of them? Bet you recognise some of their work - try Google and check out their excellent Coke advert.

  • OMG - just found that Matt also did the excellent OK Go video ... the one where the band are on treadmills.

  • Erm ... actually not sure Matt did this, maybe he was commenting on it on the source I found. oops. I'll get me coat.

  • the song is living for the weekend by hard-fi

  • sorry i ment where do i get this video from? (this specific videowhere the birds are flying)

  • does anyone know where i can download this video?

  • where di you egt this video from & is there any way that you can send it me?

  • I LOVE this commercial!

  • Anyone know why the birds do that? I've heard theories about safety in numbers and birds of prey being warned off, but as they fly off in small groups after that doesn't seem to make sense. maybe they're just dancing?

  • that's a cheap, great and memorable ad ! congratulation

  • absolutely fantastic, i could watch this alnight

  • i seen the birds do this shit live with my own eyes the other night it was incredible

  • that is wot they do and yes they are birds starlings if u live anywhere nr the runcorn bridge u can see the doing their shit it looks mint cos their are thousonds of them and u wonder how the fook the miss each other

  • Whoever put this ad together shoud get an award. It's the only decent commercial I've seen for ages on terrestrial television. My usual instinct is to channel-hop but there's something cool about this one that makes me watch it.

  • i bin lookin 4 dis shit 4 so long....wats da song called?...n yeh, birds actually do that!!!

  • You wanker! Don't use the words like 'dis' and 'dat' in regards to the best commercial ever made! Man my eyes are hurting.

  • As some have said, it is definatly Hard-fi - living for the weekend.

  • Excellent ad... What's this song called???

  • Hard-Fi "Living for the Weekend"

  • you ledg, iv been lookin 4 that song 4 ages :D

  • they are starlings. This is what they do, saw them at dusk in Rome last September. The clip was on some Bill Oddie bird watch program.

  • excellent advert..but what is de connection between the ad and carling!!!

  • brill advert

  • its bats not birds

    the birds are just in the trees

    I think its what they do to mate

  • genuine footage apparently! how cool is that?

  • is this genuine footage of birds or computer generated?

  • Hard-fi living for the weekend i found it :D

  • Great advert, what song is this? would love to know. Thanks

  • what song is this?

  • Best Carling advert ever!!!

  • blood brilliant
