That is not his real voice in the advert.

how do you know if you've only nodded to him?

I have spoken to him several times. Also he is a bit of loud actorly type.

so apparently this horrible grating guff is Daniel Johnston, idk what the fuck is wrong with people
― Swedes and Löw (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 00:18 (five years ago) link
tbf you probably wouldn't like the original either, but it's a horrible grating advertising company bollocks cover of a Daniel Johnston song
― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 26 June 2018 07:07 (five years ago) link
OK I owe him half an apology. Really never want to hear "Blue Monday" ever again either.

Nothing worse than child actors reading cutesey what-kids-say lines thought up by 35 year old Oxbridge cokeheads.
One thing worse is that the lines are not like anything a child might say, these people don't know any children.
― womp womp that sucker (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 08:13 (five years ago) link
It's the fake laffing of the child carer or parent or whatever that is worse.

Lottery advert where an actor talks about his 3 imaginary friends in the vaguest possible terms is maddeningly lazy

I've just seen an Apple advert that does use a Daniel Johnson song, so if it was that one you were objecting to NV that's not a cover, but there is another advert that's been on for ages with a horrible cover of True Love Will Find You In The End that I thought you were talking about.

― mark e, Thursday, 5 July 2018 07:25 (five years ago) link
Yeah Col I looked up the dog advert and was surprised it was Johnson cos I didn't think he'd sound like George Ezra.
The Apple song annoys partly cos of the cognitive mismatch of the actors and the song, but the song itself - stupid non sequitur lyric, faux old timey production that sounds grating rather than old timey, might as well throw a ukelele in there...I'm sure it's not the sum total of his work but it's too tweecore for me, especially in the context of trying to sell stuff.
― Neymar, Mr Nice Guy (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 July 2018 08:10 (five years ago) link
"Really never want to hear "Blue Monday" ever again either."
I thought this but then I realised that I only thought I didn't and that I do.
I like this cover of the Daniel Johnson song.

The Bank it Scotland once sent a collection letter to the psychiatric hospital I was in after a suicide attempt. I wasn’t worried about money, but it was a student account, and I stopped being a student, so they wanted me to pay my overdraft.

I imagine a job where your dialogue goes, "hey remember that are you gonna bang song from 10 years back that was playing in the SU when you got smashed and accidentally puked in Sarah's mouth as you tried to kiss her?""yeah?""we should probably pitch that as an ad cause bingo sounds a bit like bang doe.""yeah."and it doesn't seem that much worse than anything else.
