Hi Anyone, seen the toffee pop advert, where a women riding on a horse, got brought down by a low branch and sat up with a hive on her head, and she start to run only to smack right into the tree trunk? :laugh

Just wondering whats the song title and who sung it. Goes something like, "I've been to paradise but I've never been to Greece"? Think the lyrics is corny too.

cheers have a nice weekend, everyone.

Its I've never been to me, by someone called Charlene

It's one heck of a cheesey song eh? And I love the 'never been to greece' bit ...... a classic mis-heard lyric there.

One of the lines says ......

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
that a woman's not meant to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me.

Ahh yeah ...... they don't write them like that anymore.

(thankfully).

Talking about adverts ...... anybody seen the one for the Santa Fe 4WD. The one with the baby taking it for a drive and he picks up the baby girl hitch hiker. It's classic !!!!!

Yup, I am just waiting for our little explorer to pull something mad like that.... :laugh :exit

[lattner]

The sante fe's a cute one. :laugh

But what about the wellington one, where a man and a woman seemingly be having an affair, till the last part the caption is something like, a love affair with wellington :confused: ? What a way to promote a city.

[lattner]

Heres the lyrics
Anyone knows this song can sing to it. :yes

I've Never Been To Me
( Charlene )

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

And so of course there are calls to ban it!

[Smiler]

They've just reversed the decision to ban the Toyota ad and are now allowed to show it after nine pm only.

I think it's one of the only decent ads on NZ tv. At least it's not static images, cheesey music played on a stylephone, CEO's turning their showers on or wood yard men giving the thumbs up. :nice1

Arghhhhhhhhhh rant over. :mad:

I love the Santa Fe ad too, cute kids.

Now of course, thanks to lattner, I'm going to go to bed with Charlene ringing in my ears and pondering the bit where I thought she sang about living in Harlow. Took me years to get over the lyrics first time round. :wah

[Diny]

I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun


Almost spat my orange juice over the key board at this point !!!!!!! I've got visions of the old duffer of a vicar in our home village in the UK and somehow these words have lost all trace of romance ..... they just seem sick !!!!!!

[lattner]

This is a good evergreen song. :laugh

Now people, with more emotions.....Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run........

[K&CS]

We always used to sing 'I've been to paradise, but I've never been to Leeds'. It was no 1 when I was about 14 - my parents used to find the lyrics hilarious!

I love the Santa Fe ad - that's what hubby's new company car is. I've been looking to find the ad on line to send to a friend but can't find it - does anyone know where to find the ad on line?

[jubjub]

Kate, the Santa Fe advert is now online here:-
