Goldfrapp's 'Ooh La La' in New iPhone 5s ad

    Surprised no one's mentioned this yet, but earlier this week, Apple released their first tv spot for the iPhone 5s and the music used is, yes, 'Ooh La La'.  I know that a Goldfrapp song being licensed for a commercial is nothing new, but this is pretty high profile.  While it's hard to imagine that many people -- even in the US -- who haven't heard 'Ooh La La' by now, I have to say it's a really perfect mix of image and sound -- Alison's sultry beckoning to dial up her number and how she wants to "touch you" are used very cleverly.  It's also a bit "punny" what with the new gold colored phone being showcased with music from, you know, Goldfrapp.  Putting aside that only a total douchebag walks around with a GOLD phone, this is still pretty cool for the band.  Because this was the first ad for the iPhone 5s (at least in N. America) it's garnering a heck of a lot of attention -- ridiculous -- but that's what it is to be Apple.  Anyway, I'm pleased that Alison and Will should be earning a nice hefty fee for this one.  I'm on a work trip and have had the tv on in the background while working from my hotel room.  Already seen the ad 4 times since yesterday.  Funnily enough, on the last commercial break I saw yesterday evening, the Ooh La La iPhone 5s spot was immediately followed by a spot for Belvedere Vodka, which used a sample of 'Train', which was then followed by a lead in to some local newscast (in the midwest right now) which used a sample of 'A&E'.  Triple header!

    Anyway, maybe now A&W can afford to afford to bring strings on tour!  ;)

    Oh, snap!  I tried doing a search on this annoyingly set up board, but didn't find a thread.  Thought it was odd.

    Yeah, the "search" facility here is utter sh*te.

    It was mentioned a few times in the "Goldfrapp in unexpected places" thread, but no reason it shouldn't have its own thread, if it's that high profile a deal. :-)

    Not 2 of our fave sides eh ?. Well actually i do not mind Everton. You might look down your nose at Spurs. You have always been better than them.

    i guess its pretty awesome for the band as it gives them a lot of recognition. as a fan of the band, i tended to loathe ooh la la, back in the day when it was used in adverts etc. But now i just think its a great song so why he hell not!? and as i mentioned, it gives the band recognition! :)
