I can’t watch this new Mercedes commercial without thinking about my favorite romantic movie. The song in the ad comes at a turning point in the final moments of the movie. Do you think you know which film I’m talking about? Watch the ad, make your guess, then scroll down for the big reveal!
The Song. Setting the mood for the commercial is a song called “I’ll Be Seeing You” performed by The Five Satins. Here’s the full song from 1965…
Lights, Camera, Action. Ok, the big question! What fantastic movie weaves this song (sung by Billie Holiday) throughout the movie? Here’s a scene as a hint…
It’s one of my three favorite movies… The Notebook. But I bet you already knew that, didn’t you? You’re such a good detective! I’ve watched a lot of the movies (maybe all of them?) based on Nicholas Sparks books and this one outshines them by a country mile. Of course, that doesn’t include this book which I predict will become a movie.
I won’t remember Mercedes (or ever be able to afford one) from this commercial but they used a song I’ll never forget. For that fact alone, they made a good choice in song selection. Do you like the commercial? Better yet, do you love The Notebook as much as I do?
