Happy Endings Ending

Jul 27, 2016
1 min read

Yesterday, I wrote about the TV jingle that was written by the creator of Oliver! Lionel Bart for Abbey National building society, a British financial institution.  It came late in his career, in 1989, and to the surprise of most everyone oddly became a big hit.  Even more oddly, as I mentioned they released it as an extended single, with some rewritten words, and became a warm, affectionate, offbeat hit. 


This is that extended version.  The title of the song for the TV ad was a pun, about all the wonderful things you could do with a loan from Abby National, "Abby Endings."  For the single, the title was flipped back with the pun removed, "Happy Endings (give yourself a pinch)."
