Don't like it, not a fan of EJ, so this was a non starter from the word go for me :-(

Well, no idea what the connection was between Elton's "Your Song" and John Lewis. Maybe connection isn't necessary in marketing these days. As for Elton, since we're commenting, his earlier stuff was good, his later stuff pretty variable. I like "Your Song" a lot, even though some of the lyrics seem as if Bernie was desperate to think of something that fit.

Elton gives millions of his own money every year to various charities. Yes, I know he can well afford to but he does donate to some fabulous causes.
"Your Song" has some dire lyrics:

'I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross'.

But it doesn't beat these truly awful lyrics from 'Life' by Des'ree:

'I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast'

Such inspiration!
Pastafreak.. it brought tears to my eyes as well..

I felt it was much more in keeping with the season of goodwill rather than an advert for Elton John..
I like the sentiment behind it about how a gift shaped his life/career.

Besides that, it's one of my all time favourite songs.

I know its a bit corny but my favourite line in the song is 'How wonderful life is, now you're in the world' ;o)

Love it, not a great EJ Fan, but totally see where it's coming from.
i like the ad, I like Elton very much. i also like the ad for McDonalds, which has Santa, reindeers and carrots on it.
Thought it was boring when I first saw it, not totally fed up of it!

I do like KFC hen and turkey ad - but thats due to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly tune.
