737.0. "Chocolate Music" by NEWOA::DAVEY () Wed Sep 12 1990 17:04

    
    
      What oh what oh what...is that Cadbury's chocolate ad's music
      called, its acapella & is brill. If it helps, its the one where
      the chap is driving an old Jag on a freeway & goes past a petrol
      station, then turns back to get some Cad's Chocky. The music is 
      great but I not know watta is.

737.2While we're at it, who did the Cellnet ad?POBBLE::COTTONCastro's surgery is a mystery...Wed Sep 12 1990 17:164
Isn't it done by the guy who had that single `Don't worry, be Happy' (now
there's a naive record) a while back?  Can't remember hit name though, had an
`a' in it somewhere I think...

    The choc ad is 'thinking about your body' (or something similar) n=by
    Bobby Mcferrin.  I think that is spelt right!  He records on the Blue
    Note label, and has a couple of lps out.  If you want that song, get a
    blue note compilation lp, that I can't remember the name of, which is
    available in Our Price for 1.99 or so.  You can easily spot it in the
    Jazz compilation section.
    
    err...I'm having doubts about his second name now, I think its
    Mcferrin, I'll check at home tonight.
    
    the lp is worth getting anyway!!

737.9COMICS::WEGGSome hard boiled eggs & some nutsThu Sep 13 1990 13:007
       The song's been around a long time, but it was (re-)released as a
       single in 1988, when the chocolate ads started.
       
       Looks like one of those rare occasions when and advert *hasn't*
       made a record go to the top of the charts!

    I'm quite happy it wasn't a hit.  I've been into the song for a long
    time, and my immense snobbery was ruffled when i heard it on an advert. 
    Harumph!
