KELLOGGS HAVE SAID they will remove a song from their new TV advert, after Irish band Kodaline accused it of being a “rip-off” of their hit All I Want.
The song, from Kellogg’s Storybook ad, drew several comparisons on social media to the Kodaline tune.
Following a report in the Sunday Times this morning, the company confirmed to DailyEdge.ie that they are now withdrawing the music. Here’s the offending tune in the commercial, uploaded to YouTube by ad agency Leo Burnett London:
Kellogg’s said that the advert’s song was an original track, but it was being axed as a “gesture of goodwill”. A spokesperson said in a statement:
The song used in our current Storybook ad is an original created by an artist called Libby Kash. However, being mindful of Kodaline’s concerns, as a gesture of goodwill we have decided to change the song. The new song will be in place the next time we run the ad.
It’s not clear what other music Libby Kash has made. At the time of writing, Google searches for “Libby Kash” and “Libby Kash music” bring up no obviously relevant results.
Kelloggs UK tweeted this afternoon:
Artist Libby Kash created the song for our new ad. But All We Want is for @Kodaline to enjoy their Corn Flakes so we're changing it #cerealy
