I have been looking for a reason to upload this shot and it suddenly hit me.......... “the guy is wearing blue jeans and surely 'Forever in Blue Jeans' was a song”.

Anyway, it wasn't too difficult for me to find out that Neil Diamond recorded this song way back in 1979 and Wikipedia confirmed this for me and said “"Forever in Blue Jeans" is a song by Neil Diamond which was co-written with his guitarist Richard Bennett. This up-tempo track, released as a single by Columbia in February 1979, was taken from the previous year's Neil Diamond album You Don't Bring Me Flowers. The song officially peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #2 on the Easy Listening chart in March, 1979. According to Cotton Incorporated "Neil Diamond might have been right when he named his 1979 #1 hit “Forever in Blue Jeans”: 81% of women are planning their next jeans purchase to be some shade of blue." The song has been used to promote the sale of blue jeans, most notably Will Ferrell, impersonating Neil Diamond singing, for The Gap. Coincidentally, Diamond himself did radio ads for H.I.S. brand jeans in the 1960s, more than a decade before he sang this song.”

Incidentally, I have just noticed that the lady is also wearing blue jeans. Don't know why I didn't notice this 'til now and her wearing blue jeans as well is an amazing coincidence :-)
