late 1980s claymation ad with heads - what was the backing track and has anyone got the ad?

Could be Hipsway, they did some music for McEwan ads in the 80's. Not sure where you'd find a copy of the ad now though

Ta for that youtube link, I was thinking Simple Minds- Alive & Kicking. If not then I'd google Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel - you can guarantee that any ad with claymation (late 80's) will have those chaps involved.

McEwans Lager also did an advert called The Chinheads.

The song was called Something So Real by Love Decree.

This was done by filming peoples heads upside down so their chins looked like their foreheads. It wasn't claymation.

The advert used to be on the TV Ark website but it's being updated at the moment.

I came across the video while sorting through my old videotapes, so I uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy.

The music was 'Opposites Attract', by Head to Head.
