Channel 4s cooking competition show, Come Dine with Me, is sponsored by Echo Falls. The 2011 Come Dine with Me Echo Falls ad music uses Camera Obscura’s French Navy.
Camera Obscura originate from Glasgow, Scotland, and hve been kicking round via various line ups for over a decade. They very much hail from the Belle & Sebastian dominated indie-pop Scottish twee scene from the late nineties.
YES!I have been searching for this song since seeing it on the Come Dine With Me sponsorship ad! Hurrah! Great song! Thanks!
I bluddy love this songy.
Has it not also been used for something else? The chorus that kicks about 1mim 5secs sounds very familiar.
christ, this is annoying.
who sings this tune
Finally solved the mystery of these baffling lyrics. Couldn’t understand a word of it in the advert! Been driving us mad for weeks!
Me too catchy tune but can’t understand one damn word she sings
Grate tune, really GRATES!! I hate it, one of the most annoying voices I have ever heard, how can you say they very much hail from the Belle & Sebastian dominated indie-pop Scottish twee scene from the late nineties?!! Are you fecking serious?!! Who ever commissioned this should be fired now… Not a fecking clue, sad times indeed.
I love this song! sometimes when you hear a song in an advert it sounds catchy! then hear it in full and think nah! i guess thats the trick of advert! play the hook of the song = people get hooked to what ever your advertising!
Anyway Love it in full!!
Excellent! Thought this might have been a tune from my parents record collection from the 60′s. Loving that it’s a modern day band. Bring me more!
Heads down…time to cook!
not as good in full as i thought
Love it but still cannot make out all of the lyrics – are they written anywhere?
the songs called french navy, by camera obscurrer
can google “lyrics for french navy” and you will find them
A song to have nightmares over! You know, like the music keeps playing and, even though you press the off button, the telly keeps working and you can’t turn it off. Wake up knackered!
Never mind what the music is, what are the WORDS, because in that clip in the ad before Come Dine, all I can make out is “Mumble mumble mumble mumble…” etc.
we met by a trick of fate
french navy my sailor mate
who’s the blonde model in these mini ad’s on come dine with me. she’s fookin stunning!
