The 2022 spell of Jack Frost Winter arrived early in 2022, and with it came the enchantment of Jack Frost. This spell, often seen as a harbinger of the holiday season, blanketed the land in a frosty wonderland. The spell of Jack Frost was cast across the northern hemisphere, touching everything with a delicate layer of ice and snow. The world was transformed, as if by magic, into a sparkling paradise. Trees glistened with ice crystals, fields and rooftops were covered in a pristine white blanket, and lakes and rivers turned into smooth sheets of ice. The spell of Jack Frost brought both beauty and challenges.
There are two different commercials and the male voiced is the original Lovin' Spoonful version. In my search for a previously recorded version by a female artist, the only version I could find was by Carol Burnette's late daugher Carrie Hamilton, from the soundtrack to an 80's movie called Tokyo Pop. I don't think this commercial's version is that one though, because it seems to be a duet with a male Japanese singer.
My guess is the ad agency bought the rights to use the song not only in it's original form, but the rights to use the music and re-record it. My guess is the female voiced ad is done by studio musicians.
If you find out, I would love to know, they have been playing this ad about 6 times during the 4-hour prime time on all networks here in the midwest. Even now, many years later, any time I get a little bummed that things aren t showing up exactly as I want them to, I have an old friend who will say to me, Wen, I have 3 words for you.
The spell of Jack Frost brought both beauty and challenges. On one hand, it was a captivating sight to behold, creating a sense of whimsy and wonder. Children bundled up in warm clothes, eager to experience the joy of building snowmen and having snowball fights.
Do you believe in magoc commercial
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic?
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic
Do you believe like I believe? (Do you believe in magic?)
Do you believe like I believe? (Do you believe? Believer)
Do you believe like I believe? (Do you believe in magic?) Writer/s: John Sebastian

- Jim From Morgantown, Wv Definitely deserves to be on that Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest songs. The lyrics capture exactly what was happening on the music front in the mid 60s: magic. You only had to believe and you could be transported. I love how there's really no refrain. Catchy, easy to sing along with words. Many of us have truly seen the "magic in a young girl's heart; how the music can free her whenever it starts". Do you believe, like I believe?
- Jennifur Sun from Ramona I Believe In Magic. Thanks guys.
- Mavis from Upper Midwest Camille in Toronto, I was 13 that summer. Remember it well.
- Jessica from Usa This song was used in a rather horrifying way in Valve's "Meet the Pyro" video. Basically, this song is playing in the happy, love-filled, rainbow world of Pyro's imagination. But back in reality.

Mervyn’s did 12 spots that year. I was in 1 of them.

Families gathered around cozy fireplaces, sipping hot cocoa and telling stories. The spell of Jack Frost brought people together and created a sense of unity and warmth during the cold winter months.

The 2022 spell of Jack Frost was a reminder of the power and beauty of nature. It brought both joy and hardships, but ultimately served as a catalyst for human connection and resilience. As the spell began to fade and give way to the arrival of spring, people reflected on the experiences and memories created during this enchanting winter season..
