poind Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 There's a new M&M ad running that redoes a song from the late 60s/early 70s, with lyrics starting "Come with me to the M&M Groovy Summer", and closing with a repeated chorus of "You can win cash every summer for the rest of your life". The original ad is marked as "Folk" at the following: http://global.mms.com/us/groovy/stuff/tvspots.jsp# Can anyone PLEEEASE tell me what the original song was? I can't find it for the life of me. :cry: Many many *many* thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eevoo Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 sounds like a cat stevens song, maybe cats in the cradle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eevoo Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 ya i did not think so but the start of it kinda, in a really long shot way, sounds like it. i don't think it was a song, i think they just used the 70's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poind Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 I think the original had a line like "sunny Sunday afternoon" in it, but am not sure. This doesn't help me find it on Google. It's very close in some ways to the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin", but I don't think it's them. Again, many many many thanks to anyone who can solve it. I'm fairly certain it was a real song once upon a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poind Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 I did already try contacting M&Ms directly myself. I tend to have pretty bad luck getting responses in similar situations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
