Lionel Richie appears in Tap King ad to ask: Hello, is it beer you’re looking for?
Entertainment icon Lionel Richie performs his classic hit Hello from the back of a fridge in a new ad for Lion Nathan’s Tap King.
The 60 second TV commercial for Tap King created by BMF shows a man opening the fridge longing for refreshment when Richie’s classic hit starts to play. Then as he looks closer, Richie appears at the back of the fridge playing ‘Hello’ on a white piano. As he continues to sing, Richie unveils the Tap King home beer draft dispenser on top of his piano and pours a beer.
The ad, scheduled to air in July, was shot by director Steve Rogers from production house Revolver, and filmed on a custom-built set in Los Angeles over four days.
Wasn’t he the soundtrack for a Carlton draught ad 3 years ago?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hears Lionel Richie singing to me at unexplainable moments…
Dear Tap King,
Pity all those beers taste the same.
XXXX, Tooheys New, Tooheys Extra Dry, Hahn SuperDry. RUBBISH BEER
Where are the porters, IPA’s, Pale Ales, Amber ales etc???
4 days to shoot a song on a cyc???!
Craft beer lover.. You can’t call hem rubbish beer then just list off other crap beers..
It sounds as if Richie is saying is it me you looking for… Not beer..
A bit gay isn’t it?
doesn’t Carlton Dry kind of own the “Hello” thing in beer…?
Let me guess @ Peter – you’re a Corona drinker?
Peter care to elaborate on your comment, ” a bit gay isn’t it?” if only to avoid coming off as a homophobe,
I think it’s “a bit gay” in that it having a man sing a love song to another man is gay. Is that homophobic, or logical?
Hi Peter Yes perhaps the red flag went up for me too early – as a gay man I’m pretty wary of any comment that approaches the “that’s so gay” perjorative – if Lionel wants to say “Hello” to blokes bring it on!
