Funding Circle

Post by DeadBaby » Wed Jan 08, 2020 5:03 pm

Was just watching sky sports in the UK and thought I was hearing things.

There was an advert for business loans for Funding Circle with a baby in a cot and “I am the future” started playing.

An obscure Alice song unless you are a fan so whoever made the advert must be one!

What an oddity that is!

Although, if you think about it, Zipper Catches Skin is an album full of tracks that could be fairly easily adapted to advertising.

It looks like they applied a little bit of eyeliner on the baby's eyes also. :alice:

my missus was watching darts and I was on my switch ignoring the tv when I heard that keyboard swirl and my ears and head shot round so fast!
I was absolutely stunned that a) scary baby signing alice cooper b) who on earth picked it!?!?!

Now I normally skip through the adverts but somehow I’ve managed to see this one three times today! Out of interest while the album credits state (Schifrin, Osborne) writing the song the Lp cover says all lyrics by Alice Cooper. Did he have any part in these lyrics?

I would assume not, or certainly he didn't change enough to warrent a writing credit. You need to get a writing credit to be paid and I can't see Shep letting that slip by.

Also after posting I looked again and noticed there’s an asterisk next to “all lyrics by”
