Ads I Love: Agent Provocateur - Kylie Minogue
Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.
Agent Provocateur takes a risqué approach that befits a lingerie brand. The setup might have offended some, but AP gets away with it by casting Kylie Minogue.
The lissome Ms. Minogue begins by promising to prove that Agent Provocateur is the most provocative brand of lingerie. Then, she takes off her robe, revealing a provocative lingerie. But that's just the beginning; she proceeds to ride a sybian. Then comes the proof. All males in audience are challenged to stand up.

If Tomorrow Never Comes
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in tighter
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say love you,
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
There will always be another day
to say our,"I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our."Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile,a hug,or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So always hold them dear.
Take time to say I'm sorry,
Please forgive me, Thank you, or It's okay.
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in tighter
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

Ads I Love: Kawasaki "Unshakable" Caliber
1 mt 31 secs
Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.
Our protagonist, the Caliber-rider, is looking for his long-lost love. He rides his bike day in and day out, going from pillar to post, traversing through all sorts of terrain. Alongside, the mellifellous voiceover sings inspirationally:
"E chalne wale raah mein rukna na haar ke
Hai tere intezaar mein saai bahar ke
Jab jhoom ke nikal pade manzil ki chah mein
Phir chahe jitne mod mile aaj raah mein
Har mod har nishaan hai apni nigah mein"
(O dear traveller, keep moving *don't quit*
Eagerly awaiting you is the glory
When we have started off with the desire for the goal *to reach the target*
Then however many turns there may be in the path
Every turn, every landmark is looking at us)
And then he finds here house! She opens the door, and smiles at him. Then he notices her mangalsutra...she is married. In the meantime, a kid, presumably hers, comes out of the house. Our hero smiles, and gifts the puppy that was his companion through his trials and tribulation in the quest for the girl, and presumably a gift for her.
The song goes:
"Chalte chalo raah ye jahan tak chali chale
E chalne wale raah mein chalna na haar ke"
(Keep moving to wherever the road takes you
O dear traveller, keep moving *don't quit*)
Voice-over
"Presenting the Caliber: The Unshakable"
I liked the ad, and in a subtle way it does convey that the motorcycle is sturdy and reliable, no matter what. This is especially important in India as the conditions are rather rough in most of the country.
Some of my friends bought the Caliber and were exceedingly pleased with the bike. Unfortunately for Bajaj and for my friends, the "guys" named them "mama" (maternal uncle) - an allusion to ad storyline where the hero doesn't get the girl.
