Hi All You Lovely People

I need your help! - I am suffering from a "Brain Freeze" in relation to certain advert that doing the rounds here in the UK

The advert is for Clark Childrens Shoes and features a young girl playing in her garden with "Hula Hoops".

My headache is this - the music is very familiar to me but I cant quite remember the song or the band. I know its an 80's band and was a 'hit'. I have looked through my archive and have come up short (oh er!). Its on "The Tip Of The Tongue" (oh er!) as it were.

Any help will be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

it's 'Living On The Ceiling' by Blancmange - a top 10 hit in 1982, and later covered by Rosetta Stone!
:urff:

Thanks to all who replied, in particular LynchFanactic* and Scardy!

I know I KNEW the bloody song and Blank Mange it most certainly is - thanks guys.

I would love to download the ad but why should I, or anybody else have to pay to watch ads. I could simply ask someone with a "Tivo" to *cough* record it for me ;-)
