Can anyone confirm what year the Sunkist commercial was made?
In NewOrderStory Barney makes it sound like it never actually happened, but then it's included on the DVD.
The backing track sounds vaguely like the '88 remix, and whether they were part of the finished commercial or not, images from the Touched By The Hand Of God video are also included, which would put it sometime after December of '87.
Did it ever actually air?
I thought it happened, was produced etc, but Rob Gretton stopped it at the last minute.
Doubt it was actually aired, but yup.. I think it was done early 1988.
Class lyrics though:
How does it feel When a new day has begun When you're drinking in the sunshine Sunkist is the one. When you need a taste for living Sunkist is the one.
Did you really do a version of Blue Monday for a Sunkist ad? If so, how did the lyrics go? Peter Rees, Shrewsbury
(Recites) "How does it feel/When you're drinking in the sun? Something something/Sunkist is the one/How does it feel/When you're drinking in the sun/All you've got to believe/Is Sunkist is the one." I didn't write them. We got offered £100,000 to do it. I kept laughing when I was singing it, so Hooky (Peter Hook, New Order bassist) got a piece of card and wrote "£100,000" on it, held it up, and I sang it perfectly. But then Rob Gretton (New Order's late manager) turned up and he put the kibosh on it. There's a remix of Blue Monday by Steve "Silk" Hurley and it's got the Sunkist lyrics on it.
When the '95 remixes came out, the Sunkist section was included on the end of one of the mixes. Think it was the Brain Mix (?, nice touch!

Yup, it's included at the end of the Brain mix - last 10 seconds (if memory serves me correctly)!

A Hurley Mix of Blue Monday? Where? When?
