You know what, I was thinking only yesterday how sad it was that a fantastic pop group are reduced to being the OXO family or whatever it is. :twisted: Leave advertising to experts like the Honey Monster, Jolly Green Giant and Captain Birdseye R.I.P. Our house is such a gorgeous song too (although to be fair, I've heard it before on furniture ads, I think).

I could imagine Neil replacing Stephen Fry in those Twinings ads, but that's about it.

Madness have never been afraid to whore themseves to the ad-man. They used "Baggy Trousers" to advertise Colgate Blue Minty Gel in the 80s, and the eponymous "Madness" to advertise Sekonda watches in the 90s , too.

Designer labels, which he has been doing, albeit inadvertently, for the past 23 years.

What kind of forum is this where Captain Birdseye gets an RIP thread, while Arthur C Clarke and Anthony Minghella don't... :|
