A Cappella in Commercials
CASA - Deke Sharon
I've heard SO MUCH a cappella in commercials lately, and I'm realizing
that the frequecny really hasn't let up in the past decade. In fact, I'll
bet there have been over 50 ads that have featured a cappella music. I'll
start the list with a few:
Chili's Baby Back Ribs
Almond Joy/Mounds - Rockapella (I've heard two differet spots, seperated
by a year?)
Ocean Spray - Bobby McFerrin
Levis 501 jeans - Bobby McFerrin
Burger King - Vocal Percussion
Ben and Jerry's - almost a decade ago ("There Ain't No Haagen, There ain't
no Daas...")
Please add to this list - this is the kinda compiled info that makes the
media take notice...

Or maybe that's just local?

There was a Fazolli's commercial that was a cappella (Italian restaurant).
And, while I don't think it was a cappella, Richard Bob was the guy who
sang "Fall into the Gap".

There were a total of 3 commercials done [all in the same time frame] in 3
different styles.

Somewhere on (audio) tape I've got an entire reel of commercials that
Rockapella did, including everything from Budweiser to HBO holiday
promos.... it's at least a couple years old by now, but it's still kinda

Early this year when Chili's started the "I Want My Baby Back" commercial,
I asked the Manager of the Chili's near me if he saw any increase in
business. He said it was incredible. Overall business in the restaurant was
up something like 60% and their sales of baby back ribs had almost tripled.
It's funny how many times I heard people in the office singing "I want my
baby back baby back baby back. . ."

To explain, this was a demo tape that Sean brought & played on WERS a
couple of years ago. Most of the ads never made it to air. The commercial
world's loss! :-)

Right -- the Budweiser ad sure did, though, because I got a copy of that
taped off the radio before ever hearing the commercial reel.
One other major ad campaign that comes to mind: Take 6's Northwest
Airlines ads.
Incidentally, there was a Japanese-language NW Airlines ad airing around
that time (I heard it on a Japanese news broadcast waaaaay too early in the
morning) which also featured an a cappella tune. I'm not entirely sure who
was signing it; I was once told that it was Take 6 on there as well, though
it was in a very different style. Who knows...... in any case, it was fun
to hear.....

The original T.J. Maxx commercial (dit-dit-dit dit-dit-dit TJ MAXX) was
recorded by Boston's own National Harmony Sweeps champs, North Shore A
Cappella. They will occasionally break into it during a show.
I believe it is a national commercial.

what an incredible thread!
Here in Utah, America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses has a commercial with
some a cappella. A man chants "$49.99" while a woman sings "kids get
contacts, eyeglasses" and a little kid chimes in with "eye exam included!"
I don't know if America's best is a chain or not...anyone else seen this
one?

Didn't Vox One do a TCBY spot?
The Golden Apple Chorus did a commercial for... oh, lord. Some snackbars,
I think.
The Bobs doing jingles for ABC
Zap Mama did a Coke commercial
We've been running these in the CAN over the last few years. That's where

I think Take 6 (or a group that sounded like them) did an airline
commercial a couple of years ago...was it United?
Also, has anyone seen the new commercial spots for the Mr. Bean movie?
It's a spoof on those funky CK1 commercials, with a vocal percussion
background, and Mr. Bean himself adding his own vp after announcing, "I'm

How bout':
Tastetations commercial - ?
Doritos - Rockapella
P.S. Neat thread =)
StarryIde
Acappella (the Christian group) -- Kodak film (they used a line from an
Acappella recording, "they are more precious than gold" -- the implication
of the commercial was one's memories, although the original song was about
the laws and commandments of God...)
Dallas-Fort Worth area -- a Tom Thumb commercial with a male barbershop
quartet, standing in the produce aisles -- I kept wondering if it was
Acoustix, or maybe another Vocal Majority-connected quartet

-Gatorade(?) commercial with lots of Michael Jordans running around on

-Zap Mama: Coke commercial during Olympics
-Vox One: TCBY Treats
On a local note, last year the ads for the local amusement park, Lagoon,
featured a jazzy a cappella jingle that fooled a lot of people into
thinking Take 6 had done it (they didn't).

Sean Altman recently produced, and -- with fellow ex-Rockapella members
Charlie Evett and Steve Keyes, and Richard Barone (formerly of the Bongos
and a frequent cohort of Sean's in Loser's Lounge events) -- sang on a
60-second a cappella radio jingle for "Nickelodeon." (OK, OK... it has a
drum track and a few kazoo toots, but it's *almost* a cappella!)
It was played over the PA at the first Bottom Line show this weekend, as
Sean, Charlie and Steve danced and lip-synched along on stage. It's
airing now, on lots of stations across the country, so keep an ear out for
it.
Sean sings lead on a 30-second Nickelodeon TV commercial as well, but I
don't know if it's a cappella or not (I've never heard it).

Well, if we're going to go for local commercials, a place outside of
Edmonton, Alberta, is known for the large amount of car dealerships in
the town, and have one of the most annoying commercials on Edmonton
television...
The commercial deals with a whole bunch of people singing "Cars cost less
in Wetaskiwin" (a cappella) without realizing what they are doing,
leading to all sorts of embarrassment from passers-by...

My name's Jon Goodine, and I sing with the Maine Steiners right now,

How about the one for Sony camcorders that used Acappella (the group)
singing the line "They are more precious than gold" from a song whose

I don't know Chris if reads RMAC but I know there are people around here
from all the Atlantic provinces (I've talked to most of you at one point

Too true...I'm in the midst of trying to contact all university choirs in
Canada, and would really appreciate some leads to send e-mails explaining
what CASA is. So far, I've talked to someone from the university of
Regina, and have kept close tabs of my old choir from the University of
Alberta.
If anyone is involved in a Canadian university, would they mind giving me
the names and/or e-mail of anyone who they'd think would be interested of
either joining CASA or contacting me to just talk a cappella? Danke.

Just saw another local commercial for SaskTel (Saskatchewan telephone)
that had to do with saving money on Saturday long distance to the tune of
Duke of Earl. At the end, Saskatoon's StreetNix added their talents to
the commercial...
