[edit] Crown vrs Dulux paint

Some confusion with recent edits - the single was released in 1985 and had 'music for the CROWN paint commercial' printed on the sleeve. However, the YouTube clip from 1989 shows that the music was used for DULUX paints. I've no idea whether one company is the same as the other, but I think if someone could work out the history of the advert and the song, we could correct this confusing state of affairs.

As it is, it's possibly wrong that the article reads "..was used in the UK as the theme to the Dulux Paint commercial in 1985.." when we only know that:-
1. The single was released in 1985 and states it was for the 'Crown' commercial.
2. We have a clip from 1989 which shows it was used in the 'Dulux' commercial.
