If you're old enough to remember it, like me, you'll remember the advert. Probably the best ad on TV ever. I found it on a website a while back, so remixed the theme tune and came up with this. mwahaha. Prepare for ultimate nostalgia!

Re-Ora

Bwahah. Had fun writing this. All comments welcome. You kids might not understand what all the fuss is about, but you old timers will!

Never heard the original but very well done

btw, don't mean to hijack, but could you get in touch by MSN fallout? I know we started to talk about it in your last thread, but we didn't get to finish. Thanks.

Course I remember it. Erm, doesn't it exist anymore?

Oh, and anyone listen to Capital Radio? They are doing a nostalgia trip every evening. Basically they play one of two old TV show music. Last one I heard was Littlest Hobo, and previously it was Happy Days. Annoyingly Red Hand Gang wasn't played...

Cheers

BTW, I only found out the other day that Mork and Mindy was actually a spin-off of Happy days. Fair enough, I wasn't a major fan, but WTF????? Heh, watch Happy days these days and it's amazingly un-pc.

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

hehe. The point is guys, this advert is '80s and long sinse dead. In fact, they dont advertise it on TV at all anymore. The sequel advert was a bunch of arse. The original always rules!

Nice music, though I don't know what the original was like so I can't compare. I'll play it at work so the guys can confirm their suspitions about me being the wierdest coder ever to work there.

Near the end it's only slightly remixed. ^_^
Loved those crazy carton adverts as a kid, but don't think it ever actually weanted me to buy it.

Kia Ora was the one with the black crow wan't it?

I've just seen Kia Ora in my local vending machine.

I hate that stuff. Taste like...... well.... bad.

The advert was great though. (Not over 20, but I know the advert)

I think Ki-Ora falls into the same nostalgia bag as 54321 bars, Tab Clear, and umm... Sasparilla (sp).
