Music

We both decided that for our first advert we needed a song to play in the background of the advert and also knew that as we was planning to create the advert as if it was made in the 1980`s we needed a song.
We also needed to ensure that we kept to the specification which states: All material for all tasks are to be produced by the candidate theirself with the exception of acknowledged non-original sound or image material used in a limited way in video / radio work. But this was not a problem as it also states that non original materials can be used aslong at we seek permission tehrfore we decided to use a song that had already been released, as neither of us are musically inclined to make up our own.
so question was "what song?"

First of all we wanted to have 3 indivdual songs one for the old style advert, one for the modernistic advert and one for the jingle. However we decided that if we have poeple opinions being expressed in modernistic advert we would not need a song and also for the radio jingle we will create this oursleves so we ensure to conform to teh current norms. Therefore we only needed a song for the old style advert but that could maybe be used for the modern advert if need be. We both decided on a song released in 1985 by"Katrina and teh waves" titled "I`m walking on sunshine", we chose this as it was popular when it first come out and is still as popular to day being used in many films such as "Daddy day care".
Here are the lyrics to the song and a link to the original song:

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure.
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go to the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good!

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true
But I just can't spend my whole life just-a waiting for you
I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day
'Cause baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good!

Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I'm on sunshine baby, oh yeah!
I'm on sunshine baby

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good!
