A hidden message?

[T***@yahoo.co.uk]

In the recent spate of televised adverts for the electrical store,
Currys, the background music features someone 'singing' the
words: "Oi! We've gonna run down to Electric Avenue, and then
we'll take it higher!"

Perhaps the words have no meaning or import whatsoever
and are merely the content of some beat music 'song'.

But when one bears in mind the retailer advertised and its
unenviable reputation regarding consumer complaints, one
cannot help wondering if the 'song' was chosen deliberately
and was really meant to advise anyone with a complaint about
a non-functioning gadget simply to 'take it higher' rather than
bothering the idiots at 'Electric Avenue".



If you have been, did smoke come out?

It was a song from the 1980's by Eddie Grant called Electric Avenue.
Presumably they chose it because they sell electrical goods. Does that not
sound plausible? In much the same way that the owners of the musical
instrument shops in Denmark Street, London (which consists almost
exclusively of musical instrument shops) got together and informally renamed
the street "Tin Pan Alley"

It does. Largely on the grounds that I suspect their marketing people
weren't quite up to spotting that the song is about scoring some dope in
Brixton and then getting wrecked. On the other hand maybe that's the
intended message. Get stoned and buy stuff from Currys.

I don't know the one in Brum. I'd been told it was the one in Brixton. You
can't trust anyone can you?

Electric Avenue, Aston, Birmingham was where Eddie Grant grew up and was the
scene of anti-racist marches in the 70s (I think it was the 70s).

Yes, it's secret Masonic rallying call.
Similar to MI6's numbers channels

Well spotted!

There is a very large secret Masonic lodge in Electric Avenue.

Have you managed to decode the remainder of the advert?

Decode it? I've already built the bloody thing. Though since I don't
normally have a Christmas Tree I've had to disguise it as a life size
working model of Kylie Minogue in order to allay my neighbours'
suspicions. I hope we get to activate them soon because not only does it
look and sound horrific, it's also blocking the door of the wardrobe.

You will have more success asking God to intervene than the staff at
the store, 'tis true.
