I have never seen this before, and was totally unaware of it. Tennent''s must of had permission from Big Country to use it. Was it Stuart who sung the different lyrics? Anyway, a great song and video ridiculed.

Yes, it was Stuart, in fact it was the whole band playing, so it wasn't just new lyrics, it was a whole re-recording! Stuart speaks about this briefly in 'Big Country Interview On Irish TV' which is on my channel too, can't remember whether it's part one or two of the interview. Cheers!

LOL I didn't know IABC was used in an advert but man, it sounds corny!

The Tennents one looks class though... even if its mortified the lads from performing that song now. :P
