That's the 1988 version of "Blue Monday" in the American Express ad, isn't it?
The Robinson's ad definitely uses a slowed-down version of Frank Mills' "Music Box Dancer" - a fluke worldwide hit in 1979 several years after having been used as testcard music in the UK, where it never charted but remained familiar, not least on pre-Moir Radio 2.
I remember that Robinson's fruit drink. Oh the memories!

I rate the American Express one a classic. I also remember the Robinson's one, too with the song and artist mentioned as above.
