This is aimed at people in England, I don't think it is shown anywhere else.
I know there are a lot of threads about commercials, but, does anyone know the name of the song that is at the beginning of the magner's cider advert? Prize= rec for the first person to tell me
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) Lyrics
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
FADE
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

it has a film of a field and then cuts to some guy pouring some "cool irish magner's cider"
Originally posted by Freddie2004Oh, right! That's the second one, I know the one you mean now. That's "Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks I was talking about the first advert.

ok, i fear this is going to turn into a regular thing.
the currys advert, with the song which has the lyric "electric avenue" and it goes "dun dun dun-dun-dun da da daaa"
any ideas? or a website where i can find the songs from adverts/tv shows?
Do you mean that one? M'fraid I don't watch enough telly to know the advert, but Electric Avenue was a hit for Eddy Grant in the 1980's.
Showing my age now 😕
P.s. This site came up on a google search for TV Ad Music Databases and Eddy Grant. Not looked into how good / up to date it is though.
