It's a wonderful world

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm that the song "It's a wonderful world" was on a car crash ad at some point in Ireland? It's driving me mad as I can't find a link of the ad on YouTube so double check? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I vaguely remember it, I think it had a little girl being hit by a car in it?

A long-running Irish road safety ad had this as its theme. Apparently, no-one told Renault, who a few years later put an upbeat version as the theme of one of their ads...

Thanks for that. Settled an argument.
