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.

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.
The advert features an office at lunchtime, and a group of colleagues being inspired by each other to go for some fast-food.
Furthermore, relying solely on a magic commercial to solve your problems can be a dangerous mindset. It can lead to unrealistic expectations and a dependence on external solutions. True change and growth often require a combination of effort, self-reflection, and personal development. That being said, not all commercials are deceptive or misleading. There are certainly legitimate products and services that can improve your life in various ways. The key is to approach these commercials with a critical eye and do your own research before making a decision. In conclusion, while magic commercials can be enticing and captivating, it is important to approach them with a critical mindset. Don't get swept away by the promises and hype. Take the time to research and consider all factors before making a decision. Remember, true change often requires more than just a magic product or quick fix..
