The Target Christmas Commercial – The Imagination Song

Target throws their stocking into the holidays with a new ad featuring a new take on an old song. Can you guess where the original is from? Check out the commercial then scroll down for more…


The Song. This is a song called “Pure Imagination” and it’s performed by Griff (Instagram @wiffygriffy). Griff is a musician from Britain and has two albums under her belt, even at the age of 23. Awesome! Here’s a longer version of what you heard in the ad.


The OG. The original version of this song was performed by Gene Wilder for the movie Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Here’s the song from 1971.


How does this ad make you feel? Are you someone who buys all their Christmas gifts early or do you wait till December 24th, rushing over the Walgreens for whatever they have on the shelves?
