Kodak Inkjet Printer - Beautifully Cheap

柯達最新的噴墨印表機廣告，傳遞精美便宜的印刷概念，任何人都能利用柯達印表機將自己家裡佈置成獨一無二的環境。小孩天馬行空的創意是還不錯，但在環保意識抬頭的今日來看，廣告中的用紙量會不會太多了些呢 ^^?

Kodak believes there is no point in having a printer if you are inhibited from making the most of it, and that Kodak's low ink replacement costs mean you need never think twice about printing.



Punk rock track ‘Here Comes The Summer’ was a minor hit for The Undertones in 1979 and has been featured on many Summer compilation albums.


The Undertones  / Here Comes The Summer

Oh baby baby what can I do
You know you drive me crazy when I'm looking at you
The summer's really here and it's time to come out
Time to discover what fun is about

Here comes the summer...

*
Keep looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
Lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun

Here comes the summer... ...



廣告的背景音樂是來自 The Undertones 的 Here Comes The Summer 這首歌，收錄在他們1979年發行的首張同名專輯。 The Undertones 是北愛爾蘭的樂團，與90年代的Green Day樂團有些相似，共同的特徵就是把龐克低齡化、偶像化了。The Undertones 的音樂型態是典型的龐克搖滾，但很少有不和諧音，在大多數的時間裡這張處女專輯沒有自以為是的政治演說，也沒有對人性社會的深刻剖析，有的只是年輕人對自己日常生活的有趣敘述，多多少少有點玩世不恭，但並不反叛，是張很好聽的專輯。


The Undertones / Wikipedia

The Undertones are a punk rock/new wave band formed in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1975.

The original line-up of the Undertones released thirteen singles and four studio albums — The Undertones (1979), Hypnotised (1980), Positive Touch (1981) and The Sin of Pride (1983) — before disbanding in July 1983.

Music guide Allmusic stated that guitarists John and Damian O'Neill "mated infectious guitar hooks to 1960s garage, 1970s glam rock, and Feargal Sharkey's signature vocal quaver."

The Undertones have since reformed, replacing lead singer Feargal Sharkey with Paul McLoone.


Formation and early gigs

The Undertones formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1975. The band members were five friends from Creggan and the Bogside, who originally drew inspiration from such artists as the Beatles, Small Faces and Lindisfarne. The band initially rehearsed cover versions at the home of the guitarists, brothers John and Damian O'Neill, and in the shed of a neighbour. By the following year the group, at this stage still un-named, began playing gigs at minor local venues, including schools, parish halls and scout huts, where the band's lead singer, Feargal Sharkey, was a local scout leader. Sharkey was also responsible for giving the band their first name: at the introduction to a gig at Saint Joseph's Secondary School in Derry on 16 March 1976, Feargal Sharkey was asked the name of the band and quickly replied "The Hot Rods". At a later gig, Sharkey named the band "Little Feat": a name already used by another group.

Later that year, drummer Billy Doherty proposed an alternate name for the group: The Undertones, which Doherty had discovered in a history book. The other members of the band agreed to the proposal.

With the arrival of punk rock in late 1976, the artistic focus of the band changed. Artists such as the Adverts, Sex Pistols, the Buzzcocks and, particularly, the Ramones became major influences on the Undertones.

In addition to being a scout leader, Feargal Sharkey worked as a television repairman and delivery man. The van which Sharkey drove in this employment was used by the Undertones to transport their equipment to and from various venues.

在 The Undertones 的同名 debut album 中誕生了一首相當重要的歌曲，‘ Teenage Kicks ’ 這首歌是龐克搖滾樂最為世人所接受的一段音樂旋律，而這張專輯至今在英國搖滾樂壇仍佔有舉足輕重的地位與影響力，可說是龐克搖滾經典中的經典。


The Undertones / Teenage Kicks

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone
I need exitement oh i need it bad
And its the best, i've ever had

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
