Hanging on the Telephone - Cingular?

Postby Frau_Blucher » Thu Jan 12, 2006 11:19 am

Has anyone seen this Cingular commerical yet featuring a female cover of Hanging on the Telephone? It's pretty cool. I'd love to know the singer.

Haven't seen it overhere yet, though I'm a zapping- away- for- commercials-person.

Here in the Netherlands one could tell that the 25 years of copyrights were over for quite a few good songs. The Clash on car-commercials. The Ramones on Yogurt-energy-drink, and some more. I'll gladly look out for the Hanging on the telephone.

I'm not sure who it is, but from the vocal I'd bet my money on the group Azure Ray. If not, it's a pretty convincing sound-a-like.

I like whoever did the cover of "Bizarre Love Triangle" for the Payless Shoes commercial. I felt a sudden urge to buy shoes... it made me feel in tune with the sistahs of the world for that brief 30 seconds[:I] Would prefer to be in touch, though[:D]

We dupe the broadcast dubs ofthat Payless spot at my work. I felt dirty making copies of it for a cheap shoe company.

I saw that commercial and it took my so long to figure out that it was a cover of "hanging on the telephone" because that version is so slow compared to Blondie's version.
