 Wuthering Heights has also been used in an icecream commercial in Adelaide.
 "So cold" - get it? It was definitely Kate, although it sounds slightly 
speeded
 up, no doubt to make the excerpt fit into a 15 or 30-second slot. I haven't
 heard the perfume ad so I can't comment on it, although Kate would have to 
be
 paid royalties on it whoever performs it. One paragon of 20th century music
 going once... going twice... SOLD! to the highest bidder and lowest 
lifeform.
