Michael Holliday - The Shell Song TV Advert

Michael Holliday sings the famous Shell Song TV Advert from the 1950's. Very rare footage showing three different adverts of Michael Holliday singing the Shell Song advert.

I first heard this song at the Beaulieu Motor Museum. Thank you, now this song is stuck in my head forever.

Quite correct, Bing did a version. Only it was "You're going well" not "I'm going well"--and it was like a tour through the whole of Britain. I can remember Bing singing (as the picture showed the West of Scotland, "The road to the Isles is a road full of smiles..."

In the first video there is an image of The Sound of Music. The original London production opened at the Palace Theatre on May 18, 1961.

I wish the shell ad and the esso ad were on DVD also regent. It would bring back happy memories of me and my dad.. He was always whistling the tunes long into the 1970s.

Good views of Britain thanks for this timeless gold

I can confirm that BING CROSBY did sing the Shell song at the start of the television campaign but, but it had a contractual limit on the number of times it could be used! I know so - i was there - so there!

That's amazing. Did you work for the Advertising company, Shell or the Music producers?

[@DonDonP1]

@bipolarbert True. That was 14 years before Bing Crosby's death.

There was Esso with tiger in your tank

I've never heard of Michael Holliday, and without reading the title of this video I would've thought it was Bing Crosby. I suspect this is actually from the early 1960s due to the sign for "The Sound of Music" being visible at night in the first ad. That was playing on Broadway in about 1960 (when I saw it as a kid.)

Back when petrol was sold by the gallon and not litres we got real value for money.

[@user-nr3dq8yg7x]

Old Shell commercial 1939

[@TylerMcNamer]

Sounds so happy and gay! I love it! Makes me want to go out on a Sunday drive!

[@11carbuff19572011]

A 1959 Hillman Minx appeared in the ad. Much prefer the 1963-66 Minx over its predecessor.

[@DonDonP1]

@subsyboy Oh, sorry. Yes, he died 14 years after Michael Holliday died.

[@tnaoro]
