"Chocolate is about joy and pleasure. For years Cadbury has told us that it was generous, through the glass and a half strap line. We thought, don't tell us how generous you are; show us. Don't tell us about joy; show us joy."

I'm intrigued by the "If you told me you were drowning" line.
Surely it's something that you'd scream. Not quietly beckon someone over and suggest to them that, like, they might not mind lending a hand.....

it perplexes me, it does, why individuals profess such adulation for this tune, being that it is sung by such an unattractive man, so fat and bald, aye.

The thing about that ad is that it mirrors the sensate pleasure of eating chocolate. And the gorilla? He's the part of the brain that likes chocolate. He's a lover, too. And he has a quite dignity, but he's also skillful and full of passion.

Also, who was the music supervisor on Risky Business that decided to cut away from "In the Air Tonight" to that fucking Tangerine Dream score...
yeah, but that Tangerine Dream song is also a classic.

I wonder how many people he's drowned.

I was really sad to learn that the murderer story was a hoax--about a day after I first heard it (the story, not the song).
The great thing about Phil Collins is that these songs have aged really well precisely because he's a drummer and he had a great ear for good tones.
