The music from the Coors ad -cycling down street

[PennyM4]

Anybody know the song from the Coors beer advert of the guy who jumps on his bike and cycles down the hill to buy some beer, then gets back on, continues down hill and ends up back at his place and hands out some beer. Do you know the song from it?

The band are Nouvelle Vague and they specialise in sprightly accoustic versions of well-known hits - they've also done Teenage Kicks by The Undertones and Guns Of Brixton by The Clash. They have an album out.

Thanks Andy, I'm gonna look up their album! I really love the song in the Coors ad and I greatly appreciate your information on it. Thanks!! :D

You are most welcome - happy to help.

Sorry, maybe I'm thinking about the wrong advert, but are you not describing the Miller beer advert? If so, the song is 'Fantastic Cat' by Takako Minekawa. Hope I'm not adding confusion here!

Hi Rhona, yes I meant the Miller ad, however I'm glad I made the error as Andy let me know about Nouvelle Vague and I've listened to their clips on Amazon and I really like them.

So thanks to both of you! Serendipity or what!! :D :D

the song you're looking for is "fantastic cat" by tamako...i think!i'm sure of the name but not the artist coz i left the cd at home, they should be able to help you in any good record shop though, i just asked for the song from the miller ad. i will warn you though it does get fairly repetitive after a while!

Those are the only two Nouvelle Vague songs I have :)
