BOLS Commercial - Retro Colours Splash - Cheers 1980's!

I saw this as a child and for some strange reason I've never forgotten it; it's striking visuals and oddly haunting tune obviously make it quite memorable. Another classic British advert, demonstrating that even the most mundane of things can be made beautiful - Cheers!

Thanks for all the comments, strange that we all seem to remember so well, something so small and supposedly forgettable ;-)

@chillmax . We had just got a VCR when the advert was originally being shown and I would tape it and watched over and over again. Is there anyway to keep a personal copy of the clip? Once again cheers for finding it and adding it. Stu

Hi Stu

Thanks for the comment.

I think if you install certain (or all) versions of Real Player, when you hover over the video it will offer to save it for you. If that doesn't work for you, there must be lots of little & free apps that will do the same; let me know what you find - JJ

Been hunting this haunting tune for years. Would love to know who did the signature tune. Thanks for publishing this one.

Hi, Thanks for the great comment.  Un fortunatley although this is a special retro tune for some, for most it's nothing more than just another old ad, and along with that it's creators & composers are lost in the mists of time.

Loved the music and dreamy models. Was the music "The Art of Noise"?

[chillmax]

Could have been The Art of Noise, but it doesn't quite have thier signiture sound to me; may have been inspried by them though!

Love this - have found myself humming this tune over the years and thinking "I really like that Bols advert". One of my rememberings coincided with being on YouTube - and it's here! Thankyou! love it.

One of my all time favourite ads. Thank heavens for YouTube. All we need now is a HD original!

I am the same - it's because this is art of the highest quality

I remember this advert very vividly, is it odd to feel old at 31?

[dancingwiththefreaks]

i edited this advert many years ago, i was thinking of old ad's i'd cut and searched and there it was...my god i feel old.
