Steve has it spot on.

It's actually a cover, the original was by The Knife.

And I saw Jose Gonzalez live at a festival last year, before he was uber famous and stuff I have pictures to prove it too, oh yes.

Strangely, he's Sweedish even though he sounds Mexican or Spanish.

Check back later for even more uninteresting rubbish

Funny this.

Me and the missus were talking about ths advert.

We reckon its a setup. We reckon its all CG effects and even the "Making Of" is a setup. In that GoogleEarth shot, arent the balls in that shot absolutely HUGE, must be siz of beach balls from the height the shot is aken from. i would have thought the shot would just be a mess of colour.

Either way, its making us talk about it.
Shame they arent getting brilliant reviews.

Its definitely been mucked around with . Closeup balls are either cg or actual filmed effects elements that have been composited . Its very obvious.

Reminds me of the honda "cog" adverts, again makers claimed it was shot for real ....not bothering to mention the several weeks of inferno work carried out on it by The Mill.
