Memorable moments from 41 ads, nicely choreographed to the tune of One Spring Away. Yeah, the gorilla’s in there, plus bits from Sony’s Bravia spots and Gap’s Khaki Swing.

Steve is jealous because, in less sober times, we’ve bounced this same idea back and forth: “Hey, what if we mashed up a bunch of ads to, like … a song…?”

But it takes a fine hand to elevate advertising — coolly thrashed by jaded pundits — to the soft-focused realm of scrapbook-worthy human experience. The Band From does it better than we could have.
