Smile and a Ribbon

Keen! Check out this unique animated commercial for the British Lottery which uses Patience & Prudence’s 1950s hit “A Smile and a Ribbon” to excellent effect. (via the Sound Scavengers list)

I love that song, but I put it on one of my "vintage mixes" (volume 3?) and those I gave it to responded poorly. Ah well. What do *they* know?

I love the song by Patience & Prudence used in the Lottery ad.
Any idea where I can get a recording of the song as iTunes does not include it in their track listings?

Hi, Robin! Collectors Choice Music sells a Patience & Prudence collection with that song --
