I’m gonna report Halifax to the banking authorities and get them shut down so I never have to see/hear that vile stand by me advert ever again Tbh, the Halifax ad is the one I’d give a pass. The reason being it played a part in Stand By Me’s 2018-2022 UK resurgence. Literally it rose from being almost forgotten (never done live 2001-19, never heard it on radio 2003-18) to that tier with SMS, RWI, Supersonic and Whatever that aren’t quite national treasures (WW, LF, DLBIA, maybe C&A and CS) but are still iconic to the public. Went down great at festivals, and now their 6th biggest song on Spotify with about 150M streams. Id say their only other post-1996 song with such status is SCYHO. But that never truly faded away; SBM did and has somehow come back. And i feel the Halifax ad did help that regarding non-fans. You only need to go on the official YT music vid and 90% of the comments are “thanks halifax for reminding me of this 90s rock classic” and the like.
