Subject: help finding old jeans commercial with frightening music
Written By: dn on 10/12/19 at 4:39 pm
Hi all,
I remember a commercial from the late 80s (or early 90s) which I am having no luck finding on YouTube. I remember it was for Lee Jeans (or perhaps another jeans company), and the scenario involved a guy on foot being accosted by a police officer in a car. I don't remember any of the exchange. The reason I have any recollection of the commercial at all is because of the thoroughly bizarre choice of music, which lent the commercial a bit of menace. I recognized the music as Charles Ives's Robert Browning Overture. Here's a link to the spot in the music: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FKsCVXDH2T9U%3Ft%3D173%26fbclid%3DIwAR1VsZQyRE8EKu5gOXMAz3e9EkX9v6q5UPe27i_9lHsRqT0wmLIMv5nmL6Y&h=AT2CDQfLgpIgYNZ8dwbGoU7U95lX3xt5raaedFz9XPBeBh7-vBBDE7efUyMjk6gSfcwa1hqPJ0dC-NFqJN13yPynwyxlXTx9Ptezk_sn42uHdPmZtnBgq_fVyUxsPdYBFXw
Does anybody remember this commercial, and know where I can find it?
Thanks!
David

What country did you see this in? And can you provide a link not in Facebook or anywhere else that doesn't require logging in? You can link a YouTube video and tell us the time of the part of music you're talking about.

Oh, I'm sorry! Didn't realize I had provided a facebook link. Here's a link to a recording which should work. It's cued to a spot right before the segment used in the commercial which I saw in the U.S.: https://youtu.be/KsCVXDH2T9U?t=882
My impression after all these years is that the music is way more terrifying than the situation. My memory of the scenario was altered by my familiarity with the music into something quite a bit more ominous....

Good find, robby76. I searched for a bit, but didn't find is using obvious search terms like "80s jeans commercial", "80s Lee commercial" with and without the name of the music piece.
