Mecca Bingo seems to have gone all Disco on us bingo players at the beginning of 2018.
How many times have you been at a party and found yourself up on the dance floor when you’ve heard the first bars of the Macarena?
For us, the answer is quite often so when the new Mecca Bingo advert came on in the commercial break of a show recently; we were ready to bust some moves!
Over the years we have seen the good, the bad and the OMG! What was that? Of television advertising but the new Mecca Bingo advert is quite good.
Mecca Bingo Advert Turns Heads
Commercial breaks are often the time when you will turn to chat with a partner, look at your phone, or go and make a cup of tea, so an advert needs to grab the viewers attention for it to be watched.
The Mecca Bingo advert certainly did that for us but is that because we are of a certain age? Our heads were turned the moment the tune started, but we remember the original theme from Los Del Rio that was launched in 1983 when we were teenagers.
What we liked about the advert was the parody of the original song, a parody that fits for Mecca Bingo and of course, the slight change in the title from Macarena to Meccarena.
The song for the Mecca Bingo advert goes
Need one number
Do the Meccarena
Palms all sweaty
Do the Meccarena
Hoping for a win
Do the Meccarena
Hey Meccarena
Mecca Bingo Bust Some Moves
As well as featuring the famous party dance tune, the Mecca Bingo advert features the well-known dance, and the star is observed in various locations busting her moves.
At first, she is alone in her home with her dog, sat on the sofa playing Mecca Bingo on her tablet. She starts the hand movements off whilst sitting but then as she wins, stands up.
At this point, her dog starts to dance, but this isn’t a CGI dancing dog, but a performing pooch.
She’s then seen at the hairdresser’s with more dancers before heading off to London, and even more, people join her with the Queen’s Guard. Finally, she is off to the highlands.
We’re impressed but are you? Check out the new Meccarena TV Advert below. The new Meccarena Bingo Advert
