Cadbury Gorilla You're the Voice John Farnham Australian Version Commercial

Cadburys has used Australia's unofficial Australian anthem "You're the Voice" by John Farnham.

John Farnham recently played this song live on stage at Sydneys Sound Relief concert with Coldplay, which raised money for the victims of the Victorian Bushfires.

Cadbury has used "In the Air" Tonight by Genesis in other markets around the world.

"You're the Voice" was awarded the 1987 Aria Award for "Single of the Year". The song was one of the biggest hits of the year in Australia, topping the singles chart there for many weeks.

wow im pretty sure this was in way better sync on TV. good song why the hell does everyone hate john Farrnam he's awesome....

[MediaWatcherOz]

It was direct off a Hard Drive recorder. The TVC is out of sync with the song. I check out the audio & vision in final cut pro & the drums don't sync up with the audio.

Another Aussie jumping in to say it's crap. It doesn't make sense...

It appears to be a cheap Windows Movie Maker level hack job. Has anyone actually seen this on TV? Or is it a fake?

If it's real, I don't know what Cadbury was thinking. People love the Phil Collins track.

This has been on air many times on free to air since Sunday Night.

I never understood why the powers that be here felt that they had to "localise" this ad. It's not as if Phil Collins is so obscure that if any Australian heard this song, they wouldn't know who was singing it. It's about as bad as those overseas ads, mostly Amercian and British, which have the actors dubbed over with Aussie accents. They're not fooling anyone...

[MCSparki1]

haha

[92fisty]

It was a bad idea to put this commercial to air after the Phil Collins version had already been on air and very successful with australian viewers, especially because it is exactly the same apart from the song used.

[buttlord123]

doesnt go with the song at all

[Rachiejane1]

Noooooo - what have they done to the Cadburys advert? What exactly was the point of changing it? That song was known all over the world. I love this song though but wasn't the singer English - born in Dagenham? I didn't know it was the adopted national anthem.

The connection with Cadbury is the background colour purple, Cadburys iconic colour ( I'm not that observant, someone told me) I think the Gorilla thing started and ended with Phil Collin's In the Air tonight

[MeoCaroline]

God, awful. I'm an Aussie and it's an insult. And anyway, how patronizing of Cadbury.

[MsSouthgirl]

This is crap - what a rip off of the original NZ ad featuring Phil Collins - MUCH better

[Mum60]

I didn't spot it was for Cadbury's until it got to the end!

[juz1093]

Nah I saw it on TV and I still thought back then it was out of beat.

[juz1093]

it doesn't have to have anything to do with chocolate. its the fact that you know its for cadbury is enough for them.

[Mum60]

It's lost on me! What does any of that have to do with chocolate - Cadbury or otherwise? Still - I enjoyed the song, and the rhythm!
