Title: FINALLY!
Post by: Dave in KC on December 05, 2021, 08:23:56 PM
Walked in, drawn into the TV of Sunday Night Football. I don't know which mobile company, but the background music was I Can Hear Music. From the part I saw and heard, it was very well done. Took long enough, and it was wonderful. Anybody else catch it?

I've seen that ad a few times lately. I think that's the original version of ICHM by the Ronettes.

I heard it too.  I think its a "sound alike" of the Ronettes version.  Commercials use sound-alikes often to avoid paying some of the copyright fees.

I just did some research and the results were surprising. Shane’s right about it being a cover. (Then again, so is the BB’s version.) It’s sung by Freddie Mercury, under his Larry Lurex moniker.

I’m confused.  Hearing a cover band doing I Can Hear Music on a commercial is a “FINALLY” moment?

Maybe because it was a one off for me and the music sure sounded like the BB. It's nice to be fooled sometimes, but the Finally word came out because some other song other than surf and turf made the commercial. Hope that helps you understand.
