I have just seen this new commerica on comedy centrall from Virgin for thier new line of MP3 players called Virgin pulse.

It shows this group of the british royal gaurds that where dancing around to some rock song that was playing in the background.

Can someone tell me what is the name of that song.

This commercial is stated as being for Target stores. With their new "Now arriving at Target" theme. Nevertheless the virgin pulse is the product they're promoting. I am not sure if there are multiple commercials for the same thing. but Ill keep a look out

i just watched the ad and can't make out what the heck the singer is saying to save my life...

in the past, however, target has been known to use original compositions for their ads -- and could be the same in this case. i'm not sure though... it sounds like it should be a real song!

a reader has contacted target in the past, maybe he's got a contact there that he can ask about the ad again?? (but, like i said, i think the response was always "we had the song made special for the ad...")

Hey, I was wondering the same thing! I've seen this Target/Virgin Pulse ad a few times, and every time I hear it, I think, "Dang! I need that song!!!" If there's anyone who can find out, please, please, PLEASE share the info. I've been searching like crazy and can find nothing!

Any help is appreciated... THANKS.

His voice sounds like Iggy Pop, whose song "Lust for Life" is use for one of those cruise commercials. But all I can offer is speculation.

Oh and it's definently not Lust for Life, I love that song though.

Omg. I'm going to cry, I was still looking and I got the forum update and got my hopes all up someone found it. Damn it. Why the hell does no one know!!!! I really don't think that it was made just for Target because it sounds like old Brit punk (think Sex Pistols). Is that just me? W/E. Back to the search. I must have the song.

ok, no luck with Virgin Pulse, but at least they were courteous...no luck with Target yet.

"Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting Virgin Pulse. Target does advertising for Virgin Pulse on the commercial you are referring about. So unfortunately, we do not have the information regarding the song or the artist."

So now all we can do is hope that Target isnt all high and mighty with the info.

oh and to daedalus79, the only way that i know that you can record tv to your comp it through a tv card (ie. wintv or others). since you need that to accept AV or coaxial inputs to your comp. most cards come with the option of recording to avi or mpeg. tv cards can be expensive though. im sure there has to be another way, but im not wise to it

keep ya posted.

honestly, as much airtime as this ad seems to be getting lately, i don't know if we'll have to worry about spreading the music around for people to hear.

one option, that'd be nice, is to slow down the song some way and try to decipher what the hell the lyrics are.

and, i'm not expecting to hear back from target anytime soon... i'm sure hundreds + of people have emailed them asking the same questions about the ad too (three people from this forum alone, that i know of!).

daedalus79 · 10-05-2003, 04:02 PM

Actually I take that back....misread the article so I have found NO reference to Kings of Leon doing the song for that commercial.
