Mr. Cohen and Advertising

Post by glyn »

I just got back from France. Its :D great to be back. The weather was stunning and I had a wonderful time if your wondering. President (a brand) of butter in France is using a Bob Dylan song to advertise its wares. I was wondering, just for fun obviously, which Cohen song would you suggest and what would it advertise. Should give us all something to think about as these long winter nights start to draw in.

A couple of years ago on UK tv leonards' music WAS used on an advert, afraid I can't remember which song :oops: but the advert was for the British heart foundation. Hey maybe it was closing time :lol: only joking it was one of his slower songs, wish I could remember which one.

Altinkum - pretty sure it was 'Waiting for the miracle', or at least the instrumental bit of it.

All too obvious, but "Queen Victoria" for a Victoria's Secret ad campaign.

I think you could be right, after I posted that song came to mind, he definately was singing but I think it cut off just before the lyrics waiting for the miracle.
