St George does the Blackcurrant Tango

Blackcurrant Tango is a carbonated soft drink launched in the UK by Britvic Soft Drinks Ltd in 1996. Blackcurrant Tango was relaunched in 2011 as an exclusive flavour to Asda in the UK.

St George is a multi award winning commercial for the British soft drink, Tango Blackcurrant. The advert only appeared on national television ten times, mostly during the show TFI Friday. It won several major advertising awards in 1998, notably a Cannes Gold Lion and a Silver Pencil from D&AD in London. It has been voted one of the 100 best commercials of all time and was popular for its latent jingoism and the fact that it appears to have been filmed in one continuous shot.

Blackcurrant is a species of Ribes berry native to central and northern Europe and northern Asia, and is a perennial. Blackcurrant berries have a distinctive sweet and sharp taste popular in jam, juice, ice cream, and liqueur.

“Don’t You Want Me” is a dance / electronic song recorded by British DJ and producer Francis Wright, known under the pseudonym of Felix.
