I would like to know who sings the new commercial for Target stores. Who sings it, I think it is Rosemary Clooney. The song I think is " Oh Happy Life" Does anyone know?? Thank you

Gimme a couples week and I could find out (email me). I'm swamped right now, but Target's commercials have had some great music, like John Freeman (Magnolias) singing "Complicated Fun" with members of the Suicide Commandos.

According to this link it appears to be Peggy Lee...

It is infact: "Sweet Happy Life (Sambra de Orfeu) " by Peggy Lee from the import album: Guitars a la Lee.

It is a great tune.

Has anyone here seen the target commercial (its new in my area) with the middle aged guy and a younger girl each playing a set of drums? It seemed as though the guy was the instructor and the girl the pupil and they were playing along with each other? There's no lyrics, only drum playing.....if you know where to get it or any information about it please e-mail me or reply to this

Don't know who the guy is, but the girl is the drummer from the Donnas. I'm pretty sure that is a one-off for the commercial, but I may be wrong.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, and is the guy playing the drums Bun E. Carlos?!

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe so. Good call.

*cigarette*

ok, where to find the song though, anyone know?

― Mike Pallatia, Tuesday, 2 December 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Bun E. He looks different to people who only recognize him with 40 extra pounds and a square hanging from his lips.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

bun e. usually has 40 pounds hanging from his lips?

eeesh.... that's gross.

there's another one which i would like i.d.'d -

it is an 80's synthy song, in fact i am mildly embarrassed that i don't know the name. i think they commercial is mostly red.

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 06:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Lene Lovich "New Toy," probably. I heard it playing the other day and did a spit-take.

I really enjoyed that Bud E./Donna C. drum jam commercial. It was kinda shocking.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never seen it. I REALLY want to, though.

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

ok the one i would like to ID was just on. the chorus kind of goes ooh eee ooh but more like uuuuh eeeee uhhh and something about his head expanding or something. kids are running around, everything is red, and they have little gizmos of some sort

― ron (ron), Thursday, 4 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

oh thanks johnny fever, you were right!

I saw a Target ad in Australia on tv a few months ago, and it was completly different to any of the other target ads. it had really nice soft music (almost sad-ish?) i think everything was mostly red and there was teenagers and stuff in it. I REALLY NEED to hear this song but im not sure if it is real or not because i think the last line is "Lets be happy, lah la lala laah" but even that bit is sad and slow. if anyone could help it would much be appreciated

― reo, Wednesday, 15 March 2006 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

Banana Splits?

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 08:42 (nineteen years ago)

― freeradicals, Wednesday, 15 March 2006 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

(March/Spring) Target Commercial is "all possibilities" by badly drawn boy

I thought one of the Target songs was sung by Amy Grant.??? Could it be?

― Robyn Bloem, Thursday, 11 May 2006 10:22 (nineteen years ago)

What about the newest one...just a softspoken duden and an acoustic guitar...I think the words "you better be...." start of the phrase...but I guess I'm not sure

― beefytee, Wednesday, 17 May 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

does anybody know about the newest one, its real soft and mellow and i think it goes something like "and you need a place to stay... bring light to my day" not sure i could be completely wrong.

― jac, Wednesday, 17 May 2006 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 23:24 (nineteen years ago)
