Earlier today, DomainGang posted an article about the new GoDaddy video, featuring a Greek and a geek, as directed by the ad agency Deutsch.
In this rendition, the song used in the video was composed by the late Greek composer, Manos Hadjidakis, for the 1964 movie Topkapi, directed by Jule Dassin and starring Melina Mercouri.
The cover song is called To Astro tis Anatolis – The Star of the East – and was originally written for the 1962 Greek movie, Odos Oneiron – The Street of Dreams – which featured the original score.
Hopefully GoDaddy will acknowledge its has acquired rights to use the 50 year old song in their commercial, as it’s definitely copyrighted.
