Hugh Jackman Lipton Ice Tea Tokyo Dancing Hotel Commercial Song Funky Boogie by John Ozila.

Great commercial, great choice? of song. One of my favorite commercials. Watch and enjoy! Shot in January 2010 in Rio de Janeiro by Australian director Michael Gracey, this Liptons Iced Tea spot features Hugh Jackman dancing his way through a Tokyo Hotel.

Song: Funky Boogie by John Ozila

Here is a real record collectors' gem, one of those records that defines the afro sound favoured by Beppe Loda and pals at Typhoon in Italy during the late 70s.

I don't know a thing about John Ozila, and believe me I've been searching for information for a good hour now, but what I do know is that this record that I found in a dollar bin is actually worth in excess of $100 and gets everyone from Laurent Garnier to Gerd's knickers in a twist as it is one of those records that will make a dancefloor explode.
