what is the song on the persil advert..........

my grandma and your grandma sitting by the fire...............WHO IS IT BY????

[amarillis]

It is Iko Iko by Aaron Carter, but I'm not sure who does the version on the advert.

If you put 'persil' into search - the question's been asked and answered several times recently (not clued up enough to give you a link to them I'm afraid!)

..Amazulu sing the song from the ad it was in the charts during the early 80s..

[ermintrude35]

...sorry it'ds not Amazulu I think it's the Belle Stars ...sorry the 80s were a bit fuzzy...

[littleoldme]

It was The Belle Stars in the 80s, but the original version from the 60s (which I think is the one in the advert) was by The Dixie Cups.

[rachelkelley]

the version in the ad is by Cyndi Lauper (Persil is a client of mine so you have this on good authority...)
