I would never have known the Thomsons/Thomas Cook advert originally came from that song until hearing the two side by side; I knew I recognised the tune when I first heard the advert but had no idea where from.
It is interesting being a post-modernism student but it spoils the supposed 'originality' from certain things at times, for example - the holiday advert. Copying this tune and converting it from a rock genre of song to a quiet piano is a Homage form of copying, this means it shows respect to the original song. As opposed to Pastiche, which is taking the song and destroying it by taking the mic out of out, or not giving credit to the original writers. This can be the same with films and any other forms of media.
