Singer Jim Noir is to have one of his songs featured on an upcoming television advert from Adidas.
The sports brand's ad for screening during the World Cup is to be set to the sounds of Noir's 'Eanie Meany'. The song features the lines, "If you don't give my football back / I'm gonna get my dad on you". It's from his Tower Of Love long-player.
Visually, the ad will feature famous footballers playing with a pair of young boys. What? Oh, sorry: playing football with a pair of young boys...
Noir releases a new single, 'My Patch', on May 8th, and also tours like a freakin' maniac...
