Phil Collins Beaten By Gorilla… At Drumming! | New Cadburys Advert Reveals All
September 11, 2007 by Dave Parrack
You’ve probably already seen this advert for Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate, either on television in the UK, or via the multitude of emails flying around with it attached.
It shows a giant gorilla sitting at a drum kit listening intently to the start of Phil Collins hit ‘In The Air Tonight’. And then when the drums kick in, so does our ape friend, who proceeds to bash the living hell out of the skins.
Well now it seems that Phil Collins has heaped praise on the monkey, saying:-
“Not only is a better drummer than me, he also has more hair than me!”
I didn’t like to say it myself but yeah Phil, the gorilla beats you in to the mud. As for the hair joke, don’t give up the day job eh… oh hang on, isn’t that being an ok drummer and average singer? Damn, you’re screwed then.

“Drumming gorillas, Phil Collins and Glass And A Half Full Productions?
Well it just seemed like the right thing to do. There’s no clever science behind it - it’s just an effort to make you smile, in exactly the same way Cadbury Dairy Milk does. And that’s what we aim to continue to do; simply make you smile. So if a drumming gorilla’s not enough, wait until you see what else we have up our sleeves.”
Being who I am, a gorilla know-it-all, and a chocolate fanatic, and yes, an “air-drummer” to that song… you have NO idea how much I love this commercial!!!
