Target "Merry Christmas"

[Castle_Romeo]

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.

Lyrics?

"Holidays ______ just magic,
Counting Down,
Count-ing Down,"

 

[Scantron]

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"

 

[Finchley]

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

Is that the guy from the Spin Doctors? Did he ever recover from having paralyzed vocal cords?

 

[neo979]

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.

This older thread is about a Target commercial from 2007 using the song "My Patch" by Jim Noir.

Are you referring to the new Bank of America Americard commercial using the song "Wrapping Christmas" by The Waitresses?
