This advertisement was broadcast in around 1980-81 and for some reason, gave me the creeps! It's great to see it again after so many years.

Great female Wrangler jean shots with closeups of the W patch and pockets. Wish the camera would show more of it :=)

I would imagine these effects are easy to do on a computer now... ripping up the image that's just happened etc... but can you imagine how difficult it would have been to do this in 1983? When I saw this on the telly for the first time I just went "wow"... and still do!

was this song ever released as a single version?

Looks like Godley and Creme picked up a fair few of their effects straight out of their "Wide Boy" and "Englishman in New York" videos for this! - looks also like they scored the soundtrack too!....
