The Target commercial has a Christmas theme and the song is a very upbeat melody that also has a Christmas theme. The song has a rather fast tempo and is a pop song.

Need the name/artist of the song.

Thanks in Advance.
 
"Holidays ______ just magic,
Counting Down,
Count-ing Down,"
 
I've heard that song before and the lyrics they use for the Target ad aren't the actual lyrics. But shit, I can't remember what the real lyrics are. The end is something like, "I'll bring you down / I'm bring you down." And something in there about knocking on a door. Front door? Damn, I can't remember. It's right there!
 
quote from the comment left by "soyarra" on youtube :lol:

"Ha! This is a reworking of the Jim Noir song "My Patch." Cool. Who knew Target could be so esoteric? "

here is the link to "My Patch"
 
It was also used in the adidas ads during the World Cup (with original lyrics), which is why several people I know were so baffled by the Target ad changing them - Jim's whole album's excellent, BTW.
 
thank you all! i was away and kept hearing that ad but didnt have computer access. i knew adtunes wouldn't let me down!!

i assumed it was one of those "created just for the ad" songs.
 
Yes - it's Jim Noir - "My Patch" from the CD "Tower Of Lve". I believe it's been out for a couple of years.

Others by him are:

Eanie Meany
I Me You I'm Yours

if you like those you'll love the cd. Check him out on itues.

Cheers!
Rick

The vocals in this spot are provided by Chris Barron. :D
Is that the guy from the Spin Doctors? Did he ever recover from having paralyzed vocal cords?
 
Okay, I did some research, and apparently the Spin Doctors' Chris Barron did indeed get his voice back in late 2000. I didn't see any info about whether this is the same person who did the Target ad.
 
too bad the words are different.... <_< woulda made a great chirstmas single! :rolleyes:
