That Axe Commercial

If you live in Canada, and you watch television, you’ve probably seen a commercial for Axe Shower Gel. In this particular spot, there’s a naked man being chased by a pack of dogs through backyards, etc (ostensibly because he was cheating with the dog owner’s wife/girlfriend). In any case Sandy and I loved the music in the background, and as Meatwad would say “the beat is awesome.”

So I e-mailed the people at Unilever (parent company) to find out what the song is. Unfortunately, this is what they wrote:

Hi Victor,
Thanks for writing!
The song was created for the commercial by contracted composers, which is often
the case for advertising.  Unfortunately it is not available anywhere else. 

Crap.

    That’s how I found the Mitsubishi Song (Breathe by Telepop Musik)


  5. Jon: yes, of course.

    IMHO, they suck though, as they are extremely US-centric. It’s always the first place I check and they virtually never have the info I need.
