Probably the best-remembered Levi's ad in the UK was the laundrette ad around 1984/5, which propelled male model Nick Kamen to fame, and a music career, in the UK for a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q56M5OZS1A8
Best of all though, is that the agency behind the Carling Black Label beer ads (remember the classic 'Dambusters'?) took the opportunity to comprehensively take the piss out of it a few months later http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCemJAd3KZA |

Before that, of course, Old Spice for years used the combination of surfers and Carmina Burana.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rbZr7YoqK0 ...and naturally, the guys at Carling couldn't resist doing a spoof of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_OvnQ25kdU |

I reckon anyone who lived in the North-East of England in the late 80's and listened to Metro Radio will remember this chap- Mr Rahman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46dUJ1sHrJ8 Total budget for making the advert was probably about £1.75, and he became a bit of a local legend as a result. I hadn't heard this for at least 20 years until I found it on Youtube tonight, and still knew it practically word-for-word... |

Does anyone remember the local cinema adverts with a photo and a voice over? Class and a budget of about £4, including six months showing fee! |

I agree the advert makes no sense
Although that said, if the only Romanians that arrived on these shores were females that looked like these women , well In other words, Come on in ladies , and if you need a place to stay then please avail yourselves of my lap
