Memo to lazy ad agencies. What’s so creative about simply ransacking my vinyl collection for your latest campaign? The rot set in when Levi 501s hijacked Marvin Gaye’s Grapevine -although, based on a recent sighting, the 45 year old Nik Kamen in his boxers might not set so many pulses racing. Listening to Etta James , I’m haunted by those oggling Diet Coke suckers. Now Magner’s are at it: their brew, the toast of what looks like the wrap party for the Irish version of The Apprentice, now indelibly linked withThe Zombies heavenly Time Of The Season. Still, at least the track has been re-released. It deserves to outsell the curiously popular cider by 100: 1.
Hear the Zombies' great song here minus the naff ad!
