Maxell - Me Ears Are Alight (feat. Desmond Decker)

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

Hello pod people and welcome back to Classic Ads from Simpler Times, where the tone of recent email correspondence suggests that if this podcast were the prize at the end of the race people would be learning to run backwards.

Some of our listeners, or at least those who are not permanently glued to the sunny window in a fugue state, may remember that we recently reviewed a 30 second ad for lemonade that managed to shoehorn the brand name in 24 times.

Well brace yourself, we’ve been contacted again by Ireland’s best-selling solo musical artist and it’s safe to say that’s she’s unhappy with the current podcast content, sending us an abuse burger with the lot to get her point across while managing to drop the f-bomb 37 times in just under 3 minutes.

Elsewhere in this week’s episode we follow the mind-blowing revelations about how Lexus source the leather for their car seats with some less mind-blowing esoterica about Mondegreens.

What’s a Mondegreen I hear you ask? You have two options here - option a - look it up on Google and then have a nice lie down or option b - have a listen...you'll find out why Jimmy Hendrix is kissing a guy.

So, strap in, buckle up, take your meds, brush the crumbs off your onesie and join rubbish suit Steve Cooke and his co-host, award-winning advertising creative and TV ad director Tony Williams, as they take a look at a telly ad from 1989 that won the Cannes Grand Prix.

If that’s not enough for you we’ll hear how Steve won the lottery of life and got the non-farty chair, find out which on-screen father and son duo shagged the same Nazi and get all nostalgic about Sunday nights at 6pm on Radio 1.

So, don’t go out tonight, everything’s going to be alright, there’s a bathroom on the right.

Have a look at the ad on our YouTube channel here https://youtu.be/JZ07FbgQkqk and give us a review whydontcha it would make everybody involved extremely happy:)
