In our modern world, the concept of magic has become increasingly commercialized. From television shows that showcase magician’s tricks to magic-themed merchandise, it seems that magic has become a lucrative business. However, the question that arises is whether this magic is real or simply a clever marketing ploy. Some people argue that magic is purely a form of entertainment and should not be taken seriously. They believe that magicians use sleight of hand and other illusions to create the illusion of magic. According to this viewpoint, magic is nothing more than a well-executed performance designed to captivate an audience.

Kohl's "Do You Believe in Magic"
Who sings "Do You Believe in Magic" on the new Kohl's ads? It sounds like Sheryl Crow.

If you find out, I would love to know, they have been playing this ad about 6 times during the 4-hour prime time on all networks here in the midwest.

Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 0There are two different commercials and the male voiced is the original Lovin' Spoonful version. In my search for a previously recorded version by a female artist, the only version I could find was by Carol Burnette's late daugher Carrie Hamilton, from the soundtrack to an 80's movie called Tokyo Pop. I don't think this commercial's version is that one though, because it seems to be a duet with a male Japanese singer.
My guess is the ad agency bought the rights to use the song not only in it's original form, but the rights to use the music and re-record it. My guess is the female voiced ad is done by studio musicians.

Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 0I am enamored by the short song covers these companies put in their commercials. Most recently with the latest Kohls TV spot, I continue to replay the movie on their website over and over. These companies (Kohls, Gap, etc) should release CDs of the music in their commercials, I would absolutely buy it. In fact, I would even make a trip to their store to buy such an item, as I have never walked into a Kohls store before.
Although in my quest to find this song "Do You Believe In Magic?", I did find a similar version used in a movie called Ice Princess preformed by "Aly & A.J." (google that and you'll find it). While it's not the same, it's pretty close.
I'm glad sites like this exist, so like minded people can obsess over an old song in a commercial.

They argue that there are individuals who possess supernatural abilities and are able to perform unexplainable feats. This belief is often fueled by the stories and legends that have been passed down through generations. In recent years, there has been a rise in the popularity of shows and movies that revolve around magic. These productions often depict magicians with extraordinary powers, such as the ability to read minds or control objects with their thoughts. While these portrayals are undoubtedly fictional, they contribute to the perception that magic is a real and powerful force. From a commercial standpoint, the belief in magic can be a profitable enterprise. Magicians, illusionists, and performers who claim to possess supernatural abilities can attract large audiences and command high fees for their shows. Additionally, magic-themed merchandise, such as books, DVDs, and props, can also be sold for a profit. However, the commercialization of magic does not necessarily mean that it is not real. There have been numerous instances throughout history of individuals who have claimed to possess magical powers and have been able to demonstrate these abilities in a controlled environment. While these cases are often met with skepticism, they do raise questions about the nature of magic and its potential existence. In conclusion, the belief in magic has become commercialized in our modern world. While some argue that magic is purely a form of entertainment and trickery, others believe in the existence of real magic. Whether magic is real or simply a clever marketing ploy is a question that remains unanswered. Ultimately, the perception of magic will vary from person to person, and it is up to individuals to decide for themselves what they choose to believe..
