Who is singing "I'd Do Anything" in that Dawn soap commercial?


Search
: i'll do anything dawn commercial

Why: That song is from Oliver! (1960), which is my favorite musical of all time. We actually sang it the other night while making dinner. In a fun twist, we have that very packaging* of Dawn right over the sink!

The lyrics in this version go:
I'd do anything
For you, dear, anything
'Cause you mean everything to me
I know that I'd go anywhere
For your smile anywhere
Yes, I'd do anything
Anything for you
*the green one with the seals

Answer
: Nobody seems to know! Even the spokespeople for Dawn don't know that the song is not original. One writes:
Thanks for writing.
We are glad you like the song for the Dawn Saves the Wildlife commercial. Most of the music in our commercials is original. It's written by a company that composes very short pieces specifically for use in commercial backgrounds. There is no sheet music or recording available. This song is one that was created by the ad agency, so it is an original piece. There is no artist or song title for you to get the song.

Source: Quora, Yahoo! Answers, some other places (that also didn't have the answer).

The More You Know: In the musical (which was also a movie in 1968), the people who sing that song are skanky Nancy and her inappropriately young pickpocket pal The Artful Dodger.


What, fist the cuffs!
