Posted September 23, 200618 yr is that roxy music on the m&s advert with all the models/actresses? the one that goes "and a glass of champagne" (it sounds like "and a glass of chanpaiiiiineygne") i think it's bryan ferry singing as he has a funny voice, and it sounds something from the time of abba. what is the song and the year?
September 23, 200618 yr The song used is: [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAF2hcXWek.swf SAILOR - GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE (1976 UK#2) UK group Sailor only had three Top40 hits. This was their debut, the follow up "Girls, Girls, Girls" made #7 in 1976 & their final chart single was "One Drink Too Many" #35 in 1977.
September 24, 200618 yr I love this song , I must see if I can get it on CD somewhere ! It was held from no.1 by Queen's Bohiemian Rhapsody, I soppose if theres any song you woouldn't mind keepin you from the top of the charts, that'd be it!
September 25, 200618 yr it was a rare event, a decent track from the mid 70's ! lol good song. note twiggy looking at a billboard pic of herself as she was... she was the best bint on the ad!
September 25, 200618 yr Author it was a rare event, a decent track from the mid 70's ! lol good song. i'm liking this too. its like how the feeling would be with a bit more spunk in their tunes
September 29, 200618 yr i think i thought it was bryan ferry as he is modeling suits. hehe... Ferry ALWAYS modelled suits ;)
September 29, 200618 yr Author hehe... Ferry ALWAYS modelled suits ;) but it M&S now, before it might have been primark :lol:
September 29, 200618 yr nah - Ferry was always a repulsive champagne Charlie... son of a penniless docker who went on to have a yah-son making a prick of himself defending foxhunting in the Commons. The man's a joke. I loved Roxy Music, though... just despise that greasy slimeball Ferry.
September 29, 200618 yr A lot of people seem to think this is by Roxy Music for some reason, but as already revealed it is by Sailor - Glass of Champagne from 1976. There only other hit was Girls Girls Girls.

The man's a joke. I loved Roxy Music, though... just despise that greasy slimeball Ferry. poor Bryan. He used to go to the school which is barely 100 yards from my front door. He's the "local boy done good".Some of his relations still live here though I doubt he has been back here for several years.

I found it a bit annoying, mainly because of the way the guy pronounces "champagne"! Plus it was severely overplayed on radio. Though the song wasn't as annoying as "Girls, Girls, Girls" That too was used in an advert, a few years ago.
September 30, 200618 yr To me the song sounds like Andy Partridge (of XTC) or Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs) doing a Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music) impersonation over a Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel backing track.

The man's a joke. i laughed and bumped my head when i heard his name called out on the (red) concert for aids awareness in africa and nice frocks today on channel 4.
