Glasses Direct advert

Does anyone know where the music for the 'Glasses Direct' advert comes from? Is it a whole song or just a 'jingle' made for the ad?

Re: Glasses Direct advert

I can't put my finger on it. It feels like it is an actual song but that might be because it as been used on previous adverts. It does sound a bit Adam and the Ants too.

Just had a thought, you could try having the subtitles on, sometimes it tells you the song or the artist.

Re: Glasses Direct advert

I'll try the subtitle suggestion. Thanks. It seems as if the music should lead into a song but perhaps it is just something written for advert ..maybe by Adam.

It seems you are not the only one asking the question Mart. There are lots of answers out there but none are correct.

Re: Glasses Direct advert

Ah yes, so I see. Maybe whoever wrote the advert music ought to write a whole song called, 'Glasses Direct'.

Re: Glasses Direct advert

It must be cheaper to write a jingle for an ad rather than pay licence fees to others for copyright....

Re: Glasses Direct advert

It brings to mind 'Jeans On', which was a hit in the 1970's. This was originally a jingle for the 'Brutus Jeans' advert that eventually became a record.
