Subject: M&Ms commercial song "Color My World"

Written By: BigFantasiaFan on 03/13/05 at 6:22 pm

I've found the original version of Colour My World, by Petula Clark, but I want the one sung in the commercial.  Anybody have any idea where I can find it? :o :-\\

I need to get that and possibly with the video....Done make me bring my video camera to the movies! hehe. Take care

Aren't "ad" songs usually done by some session singers? Unless it's a current song that trades on the band's popularity.

Not always. The Coca-Cola C2 movie theatre ad cuased me to fall in love with Queen's "I Want To Break Free." I think Queen has already peaked in terms of popularity  ;)

If you go to mms.com you can watch the commercials. Once you are at the site, go to games. then there is a link to commercials. I hope this helps!  ;)

Found the song.  Go to www.allmusic.com (great site by the way!) and look up the song "Such Great Heights", maybe this link will give you a preview:  http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE57A1CDB48AB7320CAAD337BD9946AF301D14CB48D112D5600C5BC0B5F861845FD05BAD8CAAEF875B47CE3FD24A05905D1C2FE3681&sql=50:xt08b5m4bsmh~T. 

It is a cover of the song written and performed by Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello otherwise known as "The Postal Service".  The original is great too, much faster but the bones of the song are recognizable.  Check out Gibbard's other band, "Death Cab for Cutie" too, good stuff.

I can find the commercial, but can't find who sings the song.  Has anyone else found any more info on it?  I also found Petula Clark's version, but I like the version in the commercial much better.  And it's not the song done by the Postal Workers...that's a different commercial.
