    What is the Title of the Song in that EURO 2000 Commercial with Zidane, Beckham, Del Piero and Patrick Kilvert?




    The Commercial is called Soccer In Amsterdam.

    I assume you saw the same version as we did in the UK.


    It's Self Preservation Society if I am not mistaken.

    Wrong.

    If you look at the Title of this thread you will notice that I was talking about EURO 2000.


    Someone please Help.

    It's a remix of "Broadway Jungle," a 1960s (ska?) song from Toots and the Maytals.

    This is not based on seeing the commercial, but from the liner notes of a CD somewhere in my car.

    Thanks!!!

    *Off Topic*
    I just noticed that you only have one post, and it says youve been here since October 2002. Is that true or is that some kind of Glitch with the server?

    Following up...

    I changed my profile Wednesday and suddenly I lost my history.

    Thanks for the point, by the way.

    I'm a bit rusty on the boards (I haven't posted in six months or so). But here's a quote from the Trojan Records site:

    "This was reflected in the recent decision by sports giant, Adidas to use a new version of his 1964 Ska classic, 'Broadway Jungle' for their TV ad campaign during the Euro 2000 soccer championships. Although some 36 years had elapsed since Toots had cut the original, the new version illustrated his delivery had lost none of the power and zeal that made the song such a firm favourite first time around - so it was certainly no surprise when it became a hit in the UK and across Europe."
