Hi

My girlfriend asked me to find out what it is, according to
www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk (very handy) it is:

Matt Hales - "I Put A Spell On You"

I have been trying to find this on audiogalaxy etc, but no luck.

I don't think it is very well known, or it might be really new.

Seeya

Hi again

ok latest i've found about it is:

"'Strange And Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You)' by Aqualung

Advert - The new VW Beetle (Volkswagen)
Year - June 2002
Sample lyrics - "I've been watching your world from afar, and I've
been trying to be where you are, and I've been falling apart at the
seams... To me, you're strange and you're beautiful"
Music genre - pop/rock
Key advert phrases -
Advert comments - Shot from the point of view of the car, we see
various scenes of street life as the car attracts attention from
various onlookers. I would like to make this more detailed but I have
only seen this ad once! Great song though.

Aqualung seems to a band featuring Matt Hales who used to be in the
45s and Romeo Unit Tango Hotel.
New album coming out soonish which will feature this song; be patient
folks! "


-- And also

"The track is one of a number that Matt has recorded recently. The
plan is to get an album deal. But there is no record deal at the
moment. It may happen soon. So no record deal means it NOT available
ANYWHERE until it is officially released. Matt has also done a
Wrigleys ad recently too. "

--

I found this on the message board of www.the45s.co.uk (The 45s are the
band Matt is in). There is a whole thread about the VW advert under
the Matt Hales heading.

Bye

Rob
