‘Go Compare’ song origins in World War 1 US recruiting song

March 3rd, 2010 | Author: Paul

Just thought I’d mention this. Listen to this (below) rendition of “Over there”, a World War 1 American recruitment song and then listen (further below), if you need to (and I don’t – it’s permanently stuck in my head nowadays) the “Go Compare” song. Wikipedia notes:

(‘Over There’) was..used (with altered lyrics) in a 2009 advertising campaign for insurance website Go Compare. The chorus of the song was used in a 2009 campaign for the U.S. men’s national soccer team leading into the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals held in South Africa.

…obviously it’s out of copyright then….
