Siemens Advert
Imagine my surprise today to see dad popping up n the television. It was while watching the adverts on More 4 in between the programme Location, Location, Location at 3.45pm that an advert for the kitchen company Siemens come on. And guess who was singing his heart out - the song - 'This is the Life'. It seems to be a popular choice with advertisers (remember Harveys last year ?).
It then came back on at 5.50pm in between 'Relocation Relocation'. Now it might be that the ads are targeting property and home programmes and I will certainly look out for it on those same shows tomorrow but do let us know if you spot it - if you could we know the channel, the time, and what programme it came in? That would be fabulous - happy hunting.

I have just seen the advert on ITV2 (just before Jeremy Kyle) at about 1.25pm.

Re: Siemens Advert
Thanks John. I saw it again last night on Universal at 10.29pm while 'Psyche' was on.
Re: Siemens Advert
I just heard it on Channel 5 during the afternoon movie at around 3.35p.m.
Nice long clear excerpt too, better than the earlier Harvey's one.

Re: Siemens Advert
Heard it this afternoon on More 4 at 3.53pm during Location, Location, Location. It is interesting to note that if it is the same as yesterday then they will repeat it during Relocation Relocation and Psyche. Watch this space.
Re: Siemens Advert
Don't Harveys have the rights to the song (for advertising purposes only) ? ...............seems strange to have two different companies using the same song so close together in time
"My Tears Will Fall Now That You're Gone,
I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On"
I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On"
Re: Siemens Advert
No. Nobody has exclusive rights to a song owned by a different company - unless they want to spend Really BIG Bucks.
Harvey's stopped using it almost 2 years ago now I believe anyway.
It's not unheard of for two or more companies to use the same song - ELO's "Mr Blue Sky" has been used by several companies in the past few years.

Max spotted it last night on Dave at 11.38pm during 'Would I Lie to You'
Re: Siemens Advert
I spotted it on Wednesday night -- Channel 4 -- about 8.30 pm -- so it is not just on satellite channels.

Re: Siemens Advert
EMI have got onto Capitol to find out more about this campaign and it seems it started in December 2010 and is scheduled to run for 12 months - how fabulous is that?
Re: TV Campaign Dates
In between the Sky News bulletins I was an advert for Siemens appliances and 'This Is The Life' was playing in the background
