When I was younger I remember some brilliant ads.
You're right there.
The John Smith adverts were the ones that popped into my head first first, to the "Stop the Cavalry", they did a few.
Still remember most of this one, must be 25 years ago now:
Got me LA shirt and me disco trousers
All topped off with an Elvis quiff
The night is young, and I smell like a surfer —
Got some mates to go out with …
Got a mate called Jones and a mate called Brown —
And we're off to see a mate called Smith!
Now I might meet a bird by the name of Lulu,
moves like a Zulu on a hit tin plate,
she might be keen??
And move like a dream,
but nothing comes between me and me mate,
something something, something something,
Get yourself a mate called Smith.
