Re-use of the SHADO tune

A minute ago on UK TV (channel 4) I heard the UFO series introduction
tume to accompany an advertisement for Nissan cars.

Is this the ad with the guy washing his car and letting the whale splashing
in the water rinse it? If this is the one then that wasn't the intro to the
UFO theme ;)

That's a relief - I was dreading having to watch adverts again!

I know what you mean Nick - I hate watching them too. I'm not sure what the
copyright situation is now with the UFO theme. I know Barry Gray's family
used to have the copyright and didn't like themes being used without their
permission - and Fanderson used to be the only outlet where you could get it, I
really don't think they would allow it the UFO theme to be used on a car ad
although I may be wrong.

If you are referring to the whale ad, also the Italian version did not have
that tune.
If not, can someone recall the car's model?

Thanks,

Hi Theresa,

It was for the Nissan Micra. There is also another one with a girl
challenging a man to an arm wrestling match in order to win a parking space but he
declines as the ad is meant to show that she is superior because she drives a
Nissan Micra - draw from that what you will LOL.

Re: Re-use of the SHADO tune

I saw that same wrestling ad for Micra in Italy too. And that ad did not
have the UFO tune.
Are you meaning that the UK versions of the Micra ads have the UFO tune? I
wish they had it in Italy too...
Thanks, teresa

Mmm....

Okay, there's something weird going on here. I am based in the UK and have seen
all the ads mentioned, and none of them use the UFO theme or anything like it.
I'm based in southern England, it is possible that they may be different in
other parts of the UK, but it seems unlikely. Why bother? The demographic isn't
that different...

Best to all, Griff

As far as I'm aware they don't. I'm not sure what the copyright situation
is but usually Barry Gray's family hold the copyright and I'm not sure if that
is still the case. I think that the music the person heard was similar to
the dum dum dum dum dum part at the beginning but that is all. As far as I am
aware the Nissan company have not used the UFO theme at all unless someone
can prove me wrong ;)

If you go to this site and put 'Micra' into the box labelled 'brand/product
name' you will find all of the UK Micra ads.

I'm based in Western Scotland at the moment and know the adverts you mean. They don't use the UFO theme here either. (I know the whale one in particular as my mum thinks it's 'cute')

Hello Everybody,

I was just watching the video and the theme is very similar to the one used
on the Inspector Cartoon from the Pink Panther.

Regards,

Alejandro.

It's the Main Title from "A Shot in the Dark", the first Pink Panther
sequel.
