Have only just come across Sir Bob’s most recent foray into taking the shilling for a big commercial company. In this season of goodwill and giving rather than taking, any other rock star ads you’ve enjoyed (or not)?

Didn’t the Small Faces do an ad for Anusol? Can’t remember which song they used.
duco01 says
Was it “Here Come the Nice (and Soothing for Your Piles)”?
Johnny Concheroo says
You’re confusing them with the Small Faeces surely?

Hurrah for Bob.
Blue Boy says
Indeed. And hurrah for the Bobbox blog @minibreakfast which has been a brilliant read all year *doffs cap*
minibreakfast says
Aw, cheers BB. I’ve really enjoyed it, and I’ve certainly wrung out my money’s worth from the set.
Railroad Bill says
Oh what fun we had…
minibreakfast says
Not a TV ad, but pop stars galore with much mentioning of Black Levis. I’ve yet to get my copy of the 1982 Smash Hits Christmas flexi out this year (nicked from my big sister), but it’s always a hoot.
GCU Grey Area says
Slightly off-thread, but there’s a current advert which – to me – sounds like there’s a section of ’21st Century Schzoid Man’ in it. Innit.
Rigid Digit says
Paco Rabanne
It’s actually Kanye West song ‘Power’ which includes samples of TFCSM (as all the cool kids are calling it)
Moose the Mooche says
George Whitebread’s original pitch for these ads:
“This stuff smells reet gradely – so sez Sweaty Ken!”
GCU Grey Area says
‘Elps prevent ponginess. . .
Cheers, @rigid-digit. Ask the Afterword and Ye Shall Be Enlightened.

The King Crimson version was used in a an advert for Dunlop tyres and was then released as a 5-track CD single in 1996.

I recall an advert for Husqvarna chainsaws as advertised by his Bobness. Can’t post it I’m afraid but it’s easily found.

As Fish said, “I wanna do adverts for American Express cards…..”

Lest we forget.
John Lydon espouses the greatness of Butter
“Sell out” or merely financing the next PiL album?)
Rigid Digit says
Alice Cooper and Ronnie Corbett discuss the Sky Box
(and no mention of golf)
Beany says
No pop stars were harmed during the making of this Pepsi commercial.

Who could refuse The Shags this time of year?
Chrisf says
Not appearing in the ad, but Kate Bush did provide music for a series of ads for Fruitopia in Japan. Here’s one – there are probably half a dozen or so on YouTube,,,,,

Billy Idol and Bank of America, directed (or so they say) by Christopher Guest. What could go wrong?

I heard something on the radio the other day about Bob being asked in 1965 what he would advertise/endorse and he said womens underwear. I think he did end up doing so.
