Gordons Gin Advert

Does anyone know the music in the Gordons Gin advert? Thank you :)

I think the song you're thinking of is Pictures of Matchstick Men by the mighty Status Quo. That was the song on the last gordons gin advert that i saw. Hope thats what you wanted to hear.

Alternatively there's the Human League's version which is simply called Gordon's Gin.

From www.blindyouth.co.uk : An instrumental written by Jeff Wayne for a TV commercial advertising Gordon's Gin, which the League recorded three times. The two demos, recorded with a vaguely disco-influenced arrangement, formed the basis of the version played at many of the original group's live shows. The first demo was subtitled Inept (probably because it included a number of mistakes!) and was followed by a more sophisticated version, known simply as Gordon's Gin 2.
In 1980, the track was re-recorded for the Travelogue album, this time replacing the disco traces with a slightly harder, more urgent approach.

Thanks Will666,

I thought it was a Status Quo track but couldn't remember the name.
