Decore (Australian ad) 1988

Decore shampoo commercial from 1988 transferred from beta tape. The jingle used is a parody of a classic Gene Chandler doo-wop hit "Duke Of Earl" which they adapted to this commercial as "Dec-or-e", I remember seeing this ad as a kid.

hahaha @ 0:21. I don't think they can get away with doing that to a shampoo bottle on today's ads..... definite sexual connotation there!

[Shtevisacorpse]

Nah, it got away with it because the world was slightly more normal and realistic back then. Political correctness has killed society. End it now!

When I was young I never realised that the woman at 21 seconds is giving the shampoo bottle a hand job.

Yeah, great ad, I remember it well. Probably my fav ad of all time. :)

I'm probably stating the obvious but the jingle is copied from "Duke Of Earl by Gene Chandler".

@frankmat It's a wonder it wasn't pointed out back then

I love this ad more than life itself:D

Do you have the Decoré ad with Les Hill too? I think it's from about 1989 or 1990.
