I was kid when the British Airways ad used to play here in New Zealand. I used to run to the TV and turn it up cos I loved it so much lol even after the ad stopped running, I never forgot this song, it was emblazened into my mind as a child. Yeaaars later when the internet became a thing I finally came to know the name of the song and it's origins and am now able to listen to it as often as I want and it takes me right back to being a kid turning up the volume of the television trying to sing along 😵😂
