The Best Add In The World

I wish I could find it online. It's from the Maldives tourism board, and I've even emailed them asking if it's available somewhere. They ignored me completely.

Picture this - absolutely stereotypical shots of a beach... a family playing, the sun going down, a gorgeous woman rising out of the water, David Hasselhof running in slow motion. And a big black guy, singing the following in falsetto to some terrible slow-jam R&B:

Everybody needs to feel well,
To be well
Everybody needs some sun,
Everybody needs so much fun
Everybody needs a roll in the sand,
Everybody needs to walk hand in hand

It's playing on CNN international, and it's just beautiful. I wish I could share it with you, and I'm not done looking.

You forget the lines that frame the main verse bit, which go:

Need a little Maldives in your life
Need a little Maldives in your life
Need a little Maldives in your life
Need a little Maldives in your life

Brilliant.

You're right. I wonder if they do worship music on the side?

At least, now we know what was missing.
