Marks and Spencer advert featuring 'A Glass of Champagne' by Sailor. Words and music by Georg Kajanus. First released in 1975, 'A Glass of Champagne' went to No. 2 in the UK pop charts. This particular version was used to promote M&S's Autumn Collection - 2006. It features Twiggy, the iconic model from the 1960's and Elizabeth Jagger. 'Champagne' was recently reworked by mega techno group Scooter for the title track of their new CD 'Jumping All Over The World'.

Ah the heady days when Marks and Spencer tried to be a bit classy instead of marketing to X Factor viewers.
-
Lovely advert and lovely song
-
This is an advert i can watch again and again, and just how elegant is Erin?, gorgeous.
-
Twiggy looks VERY good 4 her age!
-
nice use of a classic song
-
This was the first advert in this series that M&S did and i remember seeing for the first time at work and the whole room was drawn to it and could'nt stop watching - then M&S do it right they do it very right
-
Harry is right: you can hear that it's influenced directly by Virginia Plain. Those piano chords and the singer's Ferryesque delivery especially the "cham-paeeeeegne" bit!
-
Tx for Marks and Spencer to choose one of the best songs of all time (It is, but only in this Sailor-Original-Version): SAILOR ~ A Glass Of Champagne ! :)
-
Oh my God!, they all look SO glamorous!!! I wish I had the jacket Twiggy's wearing on 00.38-00.39! :D

Sailor's drummer, Grant Serpell, explained once in an interview that the song was inspired by Roxy Music's Virginia Plain. Sailor's lead singer and song writer, Georg Kajanus, was hugely impressed by the Roxy Music song.
I like the vocal line and the strange European vowel sounds (to an English-speaker). The sound of the band is strangely modern, the 2 keyboards, plus synths, it reminds me of some 80's Depeche Mode.
