Yahoo

[Bladefans]

I was wondering , for those who have seen it, there is a brand new Yahoo! commercial where people are carrying their searches as we've seen before. However, my question deals with the new background song. I wish I could remember more lyrics but it is a male singer singing that he "can't" do things such as "I can't cry" "I can't sing" etc. and I just need the title of the song. Anyway thanks in advance for the help.

This is why I made a news post about checking the Adtunes.com front page weblog every now and then. (As mentioned there, I believe it is "You're My Best Friend" by the group Queen.)

Remember, the front page weblog is also your friend!

 

[Bladefans]

No It is newer than that. It is a very mellow song by a singer with a deeper voice.

 

[Bladefans]

If anyone else has seen it, maybe they could post some lines of lyrics? I can't remember anymore of them.

i've only seen the Queen version.

It's definitely newer than that. Does anyone know of a place to download brand new commercials? Also I would mind if there were just commercials that could be viewed online?

sure, there are a couple places to view commercials but you have to pay for the "priveledge" to do so!

try the Adtunes.com Links section. we've listed quite a few resources, a few of which have a collection of commercials.

by the way, bladefans...

where are you located?

i just saw the yahoo search ad again and it's the same queen song... i think it's a pretty new ad because i only started seeing it recently -- so, i thought maybe you are somewhere other than the u.s.

 

[Bladefans]

No, I actually live in California but I saw it on satellite. I forget which channel.

i've seen the new yahoo ad - it's a cover of a song that barry manilow sang "can't smile without you." i'm not sure who sings the remake in the yahoo ad, but if you find out, please post.

 

[rabbidd]

their is another yahoo ad where the cover is barry manilow's "can't smile without you" song. it is a remake of that song. it is a good version, problem is we don't know the artist who sang it. does anybody who sang it?

 

[lashef]

Yes, I posted about this last week also. It is Barry Manilow's "Cant Smile without You"...Still wondering who sang it - it is a great version

 

[michelle]

No one seems to know who's doing the cover just yet... It'll be figured out soon enough, I'm sure. Everyone seems to be wondering about it.

 

[lashef]

It is a great rendition...Would still love to know

 

[turtlegrrl]

This one's driving me nuts too. It sounds an awful lot like Pete Yorn, but I can't find the song.

 

[lashef]

Someone somewhere out there needs to help us

 

[michelle]

Have you tried emailing Yahoo's PR department? Obviously, with the success of people finding out who did the Target Ad by emailing the company and ad agency, emailing works!

 

[jhart21]

Try Sean Beal. I believe it's from the Duece Bigalow soundtrack.

 

[turtlegrrl]

I just listened to a clip, and it is Sean Beal from the Deuce Bigalow soundtarck. Thanks jhart21 and everyone for your help!!
:lol:
