"In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins

[backintime]

This is the only Phil Collins song that I like, and I love it. Incredibly atmospheric, it includes the famous drums that went on to define the eighties sound.

I've been hearing a lot recently courtesy of this advert, which, worryingly, is the first thing that comes up when you search 'Phil Collins' on YouTube.

UK Singles Chart: #2; Billboard Hot 100: #19

This is definitely one of my favorite Phil Collins songs. Totally haunting.

DEPRESSING.

[AFRO SAMURAI]

I like this song, too. But only the short version. The long version gets boring.
Hot Lil' Kim remake.

Inarguably one of the best pop songs ever. It's SO brilliantly atmospheric.

That's one of those songs which I know they're fantastic, but I would never listen to it on my own.

Amazing.

It's #1 in New Zealand this week.

Phil Collins has the number one song in New Zealand this week with his 1981 hit 'In The Air Tonight' You can thank the viral campaign by Cadbury featuring the Cadbury Gorilla for getting him there.

Cadbury launched the $12 million campaign out of the UK a year ago and the ad has become a viral sensation on the internet.

Collins is rumoured to have been paid $1 million for the rights for the use of the song in the campaign.

It features a gorilla playing his signature drum sound while 'In The Air Tonight' is playing.

The campaign is unique in that it does not mention the name Cadbury once, nor does it mention chocolate. It is working for Cadbury because the Gorilla has become known as the Cadbury Gorilla and raised awareness of the Cadbury brand.

Well, it is also working for Phil. Not only has he banked his million bucks, he`ll also have a cheque coming out of New Zealand for royalties from his latest hit song.
