I grew up hearing this song for Prouds on local radio stations, but it's great to finally see the original ad. These ads from the 90s and early 2000s used to be amazing. Even local TV shows like Imraz Iqbal's diving adventure and Manoa We Ni Yava. It's a shame that most of the ads and shows are lost media now. Only a select few are available on RU-vid. I wish our local TV stations had done a better job of preserving them.
Yes, I remember the Passiona ad you're referring to. 'Cottee's, Cottee's, untamed taste.... Passiona' ...the ad on TV around 1970-ish (?) was psychedelic & absolutely mesmerising. Can still picture the surf, the dancing etc. in glorious black & white & hear the fast yet droning wistful guitar in the trance like music! I was 10 then & going on 64 now, would love to find it on RU-vid but, not there.. maybe one day, from the archives. Awesome trip for a 10 year old! Thank for posting this. I knew Doug, would've loved to have discussed this one with him. Peace, out 🙏🧜♀
