Flying High

Do you remember the British Airways adverts some years ago which featured the Flower Duet music from the opera Lakme by Delibes? One of my readers, the lovely, funny Marion who lives in Panama, emailed me a link to an amusing alternative version. It reminds me of the Cheap Flights parody by Fascinating Aida which I’ve seen lately: beautiful voices, witty lyrics.

See what you think of this one…

    Brilliant. Love that sort of thing! Did you see the Sir New Zealand ads, all on a budget and hilarious, including one where they were all naked but body painted.
