What advert.....?

Donald Burns · Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:14 am Post subject: What advert.....?

Was listening to radio this morning when 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' was played. Have now spent ages trying to remember the advert the track appeared on. I know it's an old one but can any music (or telly) experts help out?

Didn't it appear on the old Dulux paint advertisements?

Would kind of fit that product.

It certainly was Dulux paints, around 1999 I believe.

Cigars? For some reason I seem to associate cigars with a well known card shop...... Confused

Was the "cigar" advert not for "Hamlet" which I seem to remember used "Air On A G-String" {no jokes please ... Rolling Eyes

} - the classical piece which I think Procul Harum used as the inspiration for "Whiter Shade Of Pale" ?

There. That's cleared it up once and for all ....... Wink
