Forget the Coca Cola advert, for me, Christmas is all about the Toys R Us advert, with my sister and I singing along (which annoyed the CRAP out of our mum. She had this thing against reciting adverts. But I can’t help it!)
(for those who have asked, move has gone bloody well so far, we are internetted up in new house. However I am still in old flat to avoid the chaos during the week since I’m still working)
There’s a magical place
We’re on our way there
With toys in their millions
All under one roof
It’s called Toys’R’Us!
Soon after bedtime
When dark nightime falls
Geoffrey and helpers stock up all the shelves
From ceiling to floor
Books, boardgames and bikes
Teddies, puppets and dolls
Bats, spaceships and trikes
There’s millions says Geoffrey
All under one roof
It’s called Toys’R’Us! Toys’R’Us! Toys’R’Us!
my housemates other half reckons his “it definitely christmas when you hear/see…” is the police drink/driving scare tactic.
i was confused when i saw the old toys r us advert. thought i had travelled back in time somehow.
Glad the move is going well, and that you are connected to the world already. That is, of course, one of the more important things to do :-P. I think James got our router delivered the day we moved in!
I love that advert! Singing along should be made compulsory!!!! X
Have you noticed the changes in the new one though? Basically, the kids don’t do any work now, presumably because their not really allowed to work night shifts.
And they’ve changed the red car that arrives at the end to something that looks suspiciously like a Vauxhall Corsa.
I disagree with this “avoiding the chaos.” The chaos is fun – it’s like camping, only indoors!
Seriously, what is up with the new ad music!? They have butchered a classic! It’s like when Neighbours revamped their theme tune…
