1980s TDK Audio Cassette Radio Commercial

This is a 1980s UK TDK Audio Cassette Commercial, but I am unclear as to whether it is a radio commercial or the audio from a TV advert.

"There's a little place we used to meet,
(Corner of 4th and 42nd street?)
The lights were low, the nights were oh, so sweet,
Dancing to the music, cheek by cheek.

The smell of your perfume was so intoxicating,
The band played just for us, and us alone,
In that small hotel room, it was so easy to forget,
The band was just...
A little TDK cassette...
Just a little TDK cassette!"



Mum used to hold jumble sales for her favourite charity back in the late 1980s and this cassette tape was donated in a bag of bric-a-brac for her to sell. Unfortunately, it never sold and has remained in our cupboard ever since.

We are unsure of its origins, but I would love to know more about it. One side is titled "Merry Christmas from the Norths" and includes a recording of a group of people singing various Christmas carols and songs. The other side is titled "Jingle Showreel - Nicky & Friends". I'm guessing it was a demo tape that somebody sent round to local radio stations etc. back in the days before MP3s. This side includes recordings of various commercials, some of which I presume to be from radio, others from TV (although I only have the audio, of course). Most are set to famous tunes with very creative original lyrics.

I'm a bit too young to remember these, but if anybody has any information on the commercials or people featured on this cassette tape, please do leave a comment below!
