George: I agree, he did a fantastic job. He always could sing the phonebook.

Also, the site has the Left Banke down as the Left Blanke.

That third Moody Blues one just slays me. They don't do jingles like that anymore, do they?

That's a great website. I love the Bee Gees adverts. One of their songs almost sounds like it's a facsimile of a song on the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's" album.
