It was worth it!

There has been an ad for Cadbury's dairy Milk chocolate on TV recently, with a closeup of a guy in a gorilla suit apparently listening to this Phil Collins song, then suddenly he launches into the drumming part.

One of my autistic students has been driving us mad with this for weeks. Then today we had the school talent show, and he was the featured drummer and singer in a performance of the number. He was GREAT!

Thanks to Macegrove for the video.

    Whoever thought this one up is a genius! First time I saw it, I don't think I even had a clue what it was advertising, but I just thought 'what a cool ad'

    Glad you have a budding 'baby-gorilla' in your class there Val

  3. I love this ad...it was just so cleverly done,with no fanfare about what the product was.

    Nice to hear that your pupil did such a great job too...hope he enjoyed it :-)

  5. That's brilliant! I'll take some of that chocolate...
    I can definitely see the appeal to the autistic crowd.

    Too bad they cut out almost half the song; I LOVE this song! I've always wanted to do air drumming with it.
