Bob Marley turns in his grave every time that ad comes on :mad:

Killaqueen!!!

you guys dont know reggae when you see it! That songs a classic! Wouldnt be surprised if they release it as a single

Its just "We're Jamming", with the words replaced with pimping Vodafone. Its only catchy because the original is awesome and the horrendous, demonic remake leaches from that awesomeness.

I think for the good of all our immortal souls, it should be destroyed and that guy singing it should never be allowed on television nor allowed to sell mobile phones!

Or maybe thats just me...

That ad and all of its ilk that destroy good music should be strapped onto a rocket and shot into the sun and never mentioned again.

That ad is a joke. Bob is a legend.

Bob's many siblings, baby-mamas and wives have ruined the legacy of one of the greatest musicians of our age by selling his soul post-humously to the highest bidder time and again to blood-suck a living out of being related to someone famous.

The should change "Roamin" to "Robbin", that being more appropriate to what all of the mobile companies charge for the roaming service:mad:.

Killaqueen!!!

ah cmon now. I love the origional as much as the next - big bob marley fan actually (yes, have more than his greatest hits!) - but i thought it was pretty cleve and just...funny!

When i first saw it i was like 'oh cool' but now ive seen it waaay too much and it wrecks my head and whenever i listen to Jammin all i hear is 'we're roamin'

I cringed the first time I saw it and try to switch channels every time it comes on since. It's f*cking awful.

Thats my fear exactly, tbh. I fear that some day I wont be able to remember the original song as I'll hear the advert version more often. Thats a truly terrifying prospect...

F*ck me, is nothing sacred?

There's an ad on here at the moment for coffee, it has some nice reggae music. Happily I haven't heard this vodafone one.

The only other reggae inspired ad that's also a complete headwreck is that bloody Lenor ad with the people made out of clothes...the visuals are bad enough, but the afro carribean cacophony that accompanies it could be considered aural GBH and should be avoided at all costs.
