In 2021, Asda released a Halloween-themed advert inviting viewers to “Get the Asda Price Feeling this Halloween.” The ad takes a humorous twist on Halloween shopping, featuring four teenagers visiting their local Asda store. As they approach a large pumpkin display, an employee playfully wearing a pumpkin head snaps his fingers, magically transforming the teenagers’ heads into pumpkins as well, much to their shock and amusement.
The ad goes on to showcase a variety of Asda’s Halloween-themed costumes and treats, offering everything shoppers need for a “spooktacular Halloween” at prices that are sure to “make your head spin.”
The music in the Asda 2021 Halloween advert
Music: You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)
Artist: Dead Or Alive
Released: 1984
The upbeat track featured in the ad, “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record),” was a defining hit for the British pop band Dead or Alive. Originally released in 1984, the song topped the UK Singles Chart in 1985 and reached No. 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Known for its catchy synth-pop sound, the song became an iconic ‘80s anthem and later saw a remix release in 2003 alongside Dead or Alive’s greatest hits album, Evolution. Its high-energy vibe and lyrics add a playful spin to Asda’s Halloween campaign, creating a lively and memorable experience for viewers.
