wouldn't it be nice!

im sure most of you wld have seen the latest cadbury ad on tv - the one with chocolate surfer dudes & babes, surfing on chocy waves and eating chocy binoculars. they parodied the beach boys song, wouldnt it be nice in the most adorable way - the cutest line in the ad has gotta be:

And if a shark came up and tried to bite you

You could say "I'm chocolate I invite you!"

(at which point chocy surfer dude wiggles his bum to the happy, griny shark.. hahahah)

turns out they have FOUR versions of the ad (of which only 2 shown in sg, of which ive only seen 1 - the surfer one). check out the other lyrics, hyakhyak:

the tune of wouldnt it be nice CANT STOP ringing in my head. so ive gone to check out the lyrics and turns out, its a sweetiepie of a song abt a young couple in love wanting so much to be tog! it goes...

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older

Then we wouldn't have to wait so long

And wouldn't it be nice to live together

In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better

When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up

In the morning when the day is new

And after having spent the day together

Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending

I wish that every kiss was neverending

Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true

Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do

We could be married

And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it

It only makes it worse to live without it

But lets talk about it

Wouldn't it be nice

Good night my baby

Sleep tight my baby

awww. so innocent, aint it? reminds me of first loves, JC - boys in baggy berms & girls in cutesy skirts w ponytails! there's just something about youth & love (tho immature, idealistic even) thats so sweet &... uncomplicated. dont worry, im not feeling cynical or moppy about it... (i cant cos the song has such a cheery tune, i cant help but smile just thinking abt it!!! :)) there's sweetness even in love post-adolescence, i know. i just think its a simple song w a great tune that brings out the unadulterated side of being in love; written in a time when most people still believed you can only live tog if you were married to each other... a notion thats pretty much lost its meaning these days hey? song's not perfect by any means: we know getting married won't necessarily make us happy, and love shouldnt be selfish & couple-centric, etcetc. nonetheless, i think its quite the perfect song to propose with! just gotta change bits of it - idea idea for clueless bfs out there haha ;)

in fact, im thinking if we should play it at eels' wedding - what say you babes??! :)

come to think of it, i like quite a few beach boys classics - surfer girl, why do fools fall in love, kokomo, i get around. they are a fun, sweet lot those guys...
