"This Charming Man" intro used in John Lewis TV ad

I was suprised to see a John Lewis advert (shown on UKTV Gold) which used the intro to This Charming Man. The ad is mentioned in Marketing Week here.

Yes it made me smile when i heard that amazing intro as well, perhaps it would have been better to end the advert with the same artist though, but that might just be me being biased.

Perhaps: "All you need is me".

Yeah I don't think it's a small thing. Cheapened is exactly the right word.
