The 'Other' HP "Picture Book" TV Spot by The Kinks
Almost everyone who watched television in 2006 and 2007 remembers the 2006 award-winning HP commercial that used classic, but long forgotten (as most great Kinks' songs were until they started showing up in movies, cable TV shows and commercials during the past decade) song from The Kinks, "Picture Book" (lyrics and MP3 below).
Yet an alternative version of the commercial has surfaced on YouTube that was either never shown, only aired in certain markets or was pulled for the version (see that here) most people are familiar with. My guess is that it is the version played in the U.K.
This spot is interesting, especially for folks who liked the HP campaign and/or are fans of The Kinks - the greatest rock/pop band ever!

Lyrics for "Picture Book"
Written by Ray Davies, 1967, performed by The Kinks

Picture yourself when you're getting old,
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on.
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
A picture of you in your birthday suit,
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.
Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old Uncle Charlie out boozing with their friends.
Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend.
Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here are some remakes made by other folks from around the world. Now we know - and which I think was part of the message of the HP campaign - that there are other 'video magicians' out there who can duplicate HP's famous 'freeze-frame' concept that helped make the campaign so popular and memorable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reW363ud_fE - This remake, more than anything else, demonstrates that others can do the 'HP magic'
If you view the clip above, you'll find there are other remakes of this famous commercial.
