I wonder where they got the influence for that jingle?

what's the problem? it's just a cute folk/pop song, like all those other adverts for phones and broadband and stuff. what am i missing that makes this so 'jeff'? Confused

Not Jeff - more Kimya. I get sent ads at work all the time and they're usually boring, brash and overly excitable. This one I thought I'd share because it's taken influences from the kind of music that we talk about on this board. My main thoughts about it was I thought the style they went for was a little more obscure than you'd usually find on an ad.

Yeah, it's total Kimya. But horrible. She's not too happy about it.

Although I can see its kind of kimya's style, theres not one Kimya song I can think of that it directly imitates - I still think it sounds more like 'together we form Jeff'

The ad looks very nice, i can easily hear some Jeff, some Kimya and some adam green too in it.

It reminded me of a particular song, can't remember which one right now - I'll let you know if I remember to check on what it is when I get home later.

Cool - will have a think, but as a generalisation it's not far off a lot of the stuff on Remember That I Love You to my ears!

Ah well - the actual brief to the production company used the words "Kimya Dawson-esque" so either way it was the desired intention even if it didn't turn out that way
