[weemandiesel]

im at butlins

[Kiriyama666]

who did the cover for this advert?

[Gr8DaysOutUK]

butlins is the hilton compared to pontis, at pontins the headboards on the beds are carpet!

[mama9048]

fuk all that say bad stuff about butlins. butlins is fun and better than pontins

[debz1941]

nice advert, but they usually use billy bear dont they,,, are butlins phasing him out

[randomdeath353]

right now watch it again but this time imagine pedo bears face on Ludo, not everything is as innocent as it first seems

[weemandiesel]

thats song was sad

[bloobloo2]

Worst Butlins advert I've ever seen. I will look forward to the next one in the hope it will be much better.

[musiconlineuk]

@bloobloo2 COCKHEAD!

[xdxaxnxxnxix]

Does anyone else get a bit teary? i don't want to see the big guy on his own..lol

[jazz27299]

I love Butlins i like ludo as well

[hettyfeather12]

i love this advert, and i know the bloke whos in the dino costume cause he used to go to my school ;).

[natman40418]

I LOVE BUTLINS!!!! every time i go there i never see Ludo the dino.

[gathufb]

I hate that green thing. It creeps the hell out of me

[28DLFTW]

That fucking green thing is a cheeky mofo! Whores off with one family, watches them leave then has an affair with another family. Cheeky fucking mofo!

[howardb02]

I went to butlins recently in the winter for a folk festival and the way that this song makes you feel pretty much was the way I feel. The British seaside and holiday getaways are dying :(

[webkinzluver4life1]

reminds me of where the wild things are. =\

[thomasisbest23]

#BILLYBEAR is tops. If enything happens to Butlins, I shall be EXTREAMLY ANNOYED! I am a no.1 fan of Butlins

[MANUKEV62]

WATCH BRUMMIES IN BOGNOR, BUTLINS 70S WEEKEND 1993, ITS SO FUNNY !...LOL

[XlucyXmusicX]

@comedybenj what do u mean chavy i just got back

[comedybenj]

@XlucyXmusicX theres lots of people from working class backgrounds who can't afford to go abroad and there is 17 year old pregnant mothers with 6 children.

[XlucyXmusicX]

@comedybenj well actually that's why butlins was invented for working class people who as you said were quite poor it used to be a weeks holiday for a weels pay good innit infact i went with my gran and papa they go on cruises all the time and once met a woman who said this cruise is like butlins at sea in the end it turned out she hadnt been to butlins but was just looking down on it because she could i love butlins and it doesnt matter who goes everyones accepted...

[OrganicDevelopment]

Butlins is an excellent holiday! Don't comment unless you've been, you just look stuck up.

[geartop988]

HA! my friend sings this to me at school all the time because i'd never seen this advert, but now i can tell her i have and sing it will her! :D

[thomasisbest23]

I love ludo!

[Jenni07944]

Why have they taken the lyrics off of the advert? :(

[tracy2203]

sanca,thanks.



[tracy2203]

Does anyone know who is singing this version,don't think it is KANSAS is it??

[xxJadeismxx]

i wanna green dino ^^ hes so cute the song is so peaceful <3

[shaolinfro]

This ad is blooming sad man.

[treesa6666]

this pedosaur is a creepy wrongn!!!

[r672121]

Absolout rubbish! A dinosaure playing a depressing tune on a guitar! America and the rest of europe must be laughing at us!!!

[northernangel91]

They should release it as a music video on itunes like they have the song!! :) <3

[thomasisbest23]

I'm going to Butlins this summer! Maybe, I'll see Ludo and Billy)!

[valentinorossi43]

It's the paedo-saurus!

[firelied]

@valentinorossi43 Oh my god I was just thinking that! As there IS a person in the suit, and the advert is very creepy and dark when you are seeing a man in a dinosaur suit hanging around the kids! So wrong. Good song though.

[DoriDori08]

@valentinorossi43 i just fell off my chair laughing!!!!!!

[LukeK79]

Creepy - look at its eyes O_O

[rustythestarlight]

love the fact butlins is using its original logo......they have a history to be proud of!

[signpenn]

the song is on itunes, look out for Sanca Ludo the dino.

[stevealexR1]

Strangely uplifting and sad all at the same time!

[MrDragonPORN]

allll myyyy dreams ... are filled with DRAGONPORN

[michyb24]

love him

hes sooo cute

[mushkamusic]

This has to be one of the worst and most misjudged pieces of audio synchronisation I've ever witnessed.

The soundtrack turns what could be a reasonably chirpy ad into something which manages to be both sad and creepy. The puppet leaves much to be desired 'n all.

Turkey of the week for me!

[DeanGannon2010]

has to be the most depressing add to advertise a place :L :L

[Alpha6006]

makes me proud that I work at that resort!!

[daveoz80]

I love the song

[rolororo]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GREEN FUZZY DINO!

[thaines]

I'm never going to Butlins. Clearly it is a place of sadness, loss and desolation.

[r9kep]

You can download the track on itune Dust In The Wind by Sanca

[MegaGherk]

This advert makes me want to go back......have to be Bognor though , spent Christmas at Minehead and it was not great.

[Mer111996]

Sorry ... But the Dinosaur scares me :L

[Smithyfanboy]

Who sings this song please?

[levelate]

@Smithyfanboy an artist called sanca sings this, its a cover of a kansas song.

[IaSg14]

This is probably the only advert I've seen in years that I actually love. When I hear the song on TV, I stop whatever it is I'm doing just to watch the ad. Forget that bloody meerkat, I'll take a dinosaur playing Kansas any day.

[metaludicsmile]

This is such a lovely version of the song = might actually buy a song from itunes! It'll be a first for me - and all because of the Butlins dinosaur = how weird is that?! x

[NotQuiteAKing]

I had an epiphany watching this...

[milllybob]

sweetest advert ever.

[jesslovescustard]

i must be the only person in the world who has declared this evil dinosaur as my arch nemesis.

[lilolondon]

I love him, he's soooooo cute. Makes me smile all time and I love the song.

I just bought the song on itunes. I think it's better than the original.

[lilolondon]

[wombatwill]

I find this extremely creepy

[teejaymk1]

[XxSorchasuexX]

[FutureStarVicky]

[aliciasears]

this is sick. in a bad, very bad way.

[morkofork]

I saw this advert for the first time last weekend, it seemed longer. OMG it is depressing, the dinosaur looked like he was gonna slit his wrists!

[kelzybrapxxx]

LOVE this ad!

[drlemoncobra]

[bubblychocolate]

such a beautiful piece of music......love Kansas for bringing this song into existence!

[idiotfacehead]

@bubblychocolate Who is it in the advert doing the cover?

[forkinmyleg]

i looked up who sung the song and its some one call Sança. never heard of him but probably worth a look

[pirble]

@forkinmyleg The original version is by a band called Kansas :D

[ySzh08]

[ellsbellsx97]

This song is so sweet

[racheyg1]

[BloodyGrumpyJeNN]

Is anybody know who sing this version??? Coz it doesn't sound like the voice of the Kansas singer???

[lollycupcake]

[TheNo1WarLord]

[cmcabral1000]

songs title - Dust in the Wind by Kansas

However this version singed by different person who I couldnt find on Youtube.

If someone find it pls post it here....

[apomerenke]

@cmcabral1000 the remix is by a guy called sanca. unfortunately i cant find a video of his version either, but i did manage to find an audio of the background music although its not really the same is it

[bullterriertom]

the actual group who sung this is Kansas "dust in the wind" rock group brilliant sa them in the early 80's link :-

[pearsy98]

this looks like my m8

[ellieingorleston]

[wearebutlins]

@ellieingorleston Ludo is definitely not replacing Billy, don't worry! :)

[JoseLombardia]

Love the dino, love the song! Ludo available for adoption? :-)

[barbarla1]

Such a sweet piece of advertising!

[chloedog14]

Happy Days?

[aniles1989]

[kaily1988]

[wearebutlins]

@kaily1988 The resort in the advert is Bognor Regis.

[r9kep]

It will be available on iTunes early next year

[billbillyoung]

the song is by Sança apparently.

[pirble]

this is so sad. I feel so sorry for the Dinosaur after the family leaves and he is heartbroken. But then he meets a new friend who sees he is sad and all is good again. I like very much :-D

[ihaveashed]

Who sings this version of the song?

[pandapantsy]

Awwww... Dino is so sweet

[beckerina88]

This is Butlins? Brilliant. I'm converted. Love the new Dino! 

[r9kep]
