Last night I was sitting having a beer watching TV and the song "I can hear music" was used. Thinking at first that it must be the Beach Boys version, my Freddie voice radar went off a little bit and it dawned on me I was hearing the Larry Lurex version.
This was in the USA, and I can't for the life of me remember what the product being advertised was, and if it comes on again of course I'll post back here. Has anyone else encountered this advertisement on TV or YouTube in the USA or anywhere else?
I posted this in Queen since Brian and Roger appear on the track as well but I can't remember if John did!

I'm sure John wasn't involved. It'd be great to hear what advert this is from. |

It's great to see that song being used in an advert! On a side note, could it be a hearing aid ad?  Cheers, Ogre- |

Yes, Queen's solo is meant to have as much exposure as Queen proper, it's saddening that's not the case ( there are times I have thought i was the only one alive who was still into Roger's solo  ). But still hopeful that one day there will be a solo explosion of popularity, Ads are the best place to start  |

It's 2021, songs explode when a popular teenager with a funny haircut uses them to record some silly dance on TikTok.  |

It's a shame how many people only know songs I enjoy because of tiktok ( I don't care for tiktok or any of the hyped-up social media stuff myself...but does it really matter *how* someone comes into contact with great but obscure music? It doesn't take anything away from the music, does it? |

I saw the same commercial twice but never paid any attention to what was being advertised because I was listening too closely to if it was the Beach Boy's or the Lurex version. So interesting that they would use that song in an ad!!!

Has anyone else encountered this advertisement on TV or YouTube in the USA or anywhere else? This appeared earlier in the year, but I remember it just yesterday I was very surprised, you don't hear much of Queen music in ads or even in radio, at least not here in Mexico |
