Hi Angelzopo,

Its called 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy' - its sung by a group of children in the ad but the original was recorded by the US group - 'The Exciters'.

The most famous version of the song however was recorded by the British group, Manfred Mann (named after their keyboard player). It was both a UK and a US number 1 hit in the mid-60s and features on many compilation albums of that era.

Whoops, sorry I may have mistakenly answered your question because that's the George Clothes by Asda ad I'm thinking of. I haven't seen a George Home one yet

I'll keep an eye out for it and then try to come back with the correct answer !

Yes this song is a 70'* *** called "Magic" originally by Pilot. The version in the ad is by children from Shana Goldman's Stage School & Agency and as far as I know is not released.

Thank you people!! many thanks!

Well done kwillmott,

Angelzopo to make up for my earlier 'faux pas' I'd be delighted to send you an mp3 copy of the original version by Pilot (if you want it?).

Just shoot me an e-mail address to -

and it'll be on its way.
