marathon mama Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 All By Myself - a love song? or a terrorist's tool? I found this broadcast of ABM starting at the 3:46 marker, and later at 6:26 on the tape recorder the man plays for her, and at the 7:32 mark when he is finally "all by himself".It was great to hear Eric's voice , but at first it seemed the song was playing when a love song would normally be playing. (The man doesn't speak English or Italian - he points at a map to indicate what country he is from) so I erroneously guessed at first that whoever made this didn't understand English either and couldn't know the words or meaning of the song to have placed it at the 3:46 mark. But then I figured out that the song might be meant to be foreboding at that point, since he is thinking of her leaving on a flight.I watched it again and realized that the plot takes a turn when he hears the TV news announcer say there was a terrorist attack on the plane. I think the bomb was found in the tape recorder so he was only using her!!The clip identifies itself as Senza parole (Without words) from the Italian "I Nuovi Mostri" ("The New Monsters") in 1977.

marathon mama Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The ABM clip that I posted on 03-09-2011 won't let me edit or add to it now so I will identify it here. (and I now see that the Ira post that I refer to is not easy to find since it is on another thread.)It was explained there that the show was broadcast on that very same day (3/9/11). The clip's title already identifies Pia Toscano on American Idol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeVelvet Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 My husband was watching an NCAA basketball game today (VCU vs Kansas), when a Miller Lite commercial came on. Yep, ABM was the background theme music. I didn't see it, but my husband related the info to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle4ec Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I saw the Miller Lite commercial too, BV! It's not Eric singing All By Myself, though. I've looked for it on YouTube for the past few days so I could post it here, but I can't find it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeVelvet Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm trying to find it too Elle, no luck so far. My husband did tell me he didn't think it was Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeVelvet Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Maybe this should be in "Cartoon World". Nothing political intended. I just thought this was a funny use of our beloved Eric's ABM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I can't find the new, I think it's Bud Light commerical where ABM is featured through most of it. The guy is approaching a group of girls in a bar all by himself?... I see it every day here in SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathon mama Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 This is a great Youtube clip of Eric performing "I Wanna Hear It From Your Lips", which looks like it was broadcast on T.V., but I don't know the date nor the show: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Don't know if anyone's posted about this one yet, but "It Hurts Too Much" is in the new gory black comedy flick, "Super", starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon. In an early scene, Wilson's character is getting the sh*t stomped out of him by Bacon's thugs, and EC's tune starts blasting! The movie is pretty funny, but extremely graphic/gory. . . . .And it has a very cool soundtrack (Cheap Trick, The Nomads, Eric, etc.) Was just released here this past Friday.

marathon mama Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for the info. Here is the youtube clip which previews the soundtrack for the motion picture Super: (Eric can be heard starting at the 1 minute mark): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathon mama Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The following clip on youtube shows 1978 Eric performing three songs (Change of Heart, All by Myself and Never Gonna Fall in Love Again). The name of the show according to the curtain rising at the beginning and later at 8:40 is The Alan Hamel Show, a variety show from Canada.

rockynrobyn1977 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I just saw a commercial for a show "Locked-Up" prisoners abroad, on National Geographic. Is that Eric singing ABM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mac Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I couldn't find a link to it... this might be the first airing...but on tonight's episode of The Bachelorette there was an new "Pretzel M&M" commercial featuring EC and Hungry Eyes. They even have a Hungry Eyes guy sitting at the bar. I could almost hear Eric's pockets jingling Cha ching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianchick Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ABM again makes another appearance. This morning while watching Pix11 News...they were showing the Nathan's Hotdog Eating contest. Of course, Takeru Kobayashi, who has some type of contract dispute going on with Nathan's was not allowed to participate, but did his own HotDog eating event on a live screen at a different location.So needless to say when they were showing Takeru skarfing down his dogs...ABM was blairing loudly...

Kirk Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The July 5th audition taping of "America's Got Talent" featured a segment showing acts that didn't make the cut. ABM was played (it wasn't Eric singing) throughout this entire portion of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathon mama Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks, Elle, for posting the M&M's clip; I've been waiting to see it ever since Eric said it would be coming. I love Hungry Eyes and it's great to hear whenever it's used in a commercial.I'd also like to thank Eric for letting us be the "first to know", but I wonder if he will ever read this since he has been absent for so long.

BlondeVelvet Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Russian vocalist Tim Barsov performs ABM. I don't know the Russian language, but it doesn't matter. We all know the lyrics and melody. Barsov's rendition is outstanding! IMOKim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
