Title: Vauxhall Astra song.
Post by: animalwilliams on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, 09:30:55
This has to be the most irritating soundtrack to any of the current TV ads.  Vauxhall say that the song is inspired by the Ian Dury track Reasons To Be Cheerful, a song that I think is great. No way is this rubbish  in the same league.

Just checked it out and see what you mean! I fink I don't like it blud when de people do de stupid accents bofe on dere songs and in dere prose.

The positive was it made me listen to this for the first time in years. So much going on in the song its brilliant! (Unlike the stripped down bullshit on the ad)

I wouldn't say its iritating but I would say it is utter shit, the singer "sense" is not fit to lace one of Ian Durys boots.

Now if the singer/writer managed to get in "being in my nuddy" or 18 wheeler Scammels" or even "sitting on the potty" in then it would have improved it vastly.

I clocked the last bit of this yesterday...hadn't made a connection, but Animal is right it's annoying shite. Another for the mute button list.

Ian Dury...crafted some great lyrics  :)
