What's the name of this song and who sang it?
 
I am talking about the song in a photograph commercial. I think it is HP, but it could be another company's ad. It has, "Picturebook...Pictures of your papa, given to your momma, a long time ago..." (Or something like that.)

My husband is desperate to find out the name and artist. He thinks it's the Beatles.

Anyone know?

try googling it, offhand I don't know who sings it, but I do know that it's definitely not the Beatles

A-ha!

I found it at Letssingit.com:
Picture Book
by Kinks
Album : The Village Green Preservation Society

Picture yourself when you're getting old,
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on
Picture book, pictures of your mama,
taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other,
to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.

A picture of you in your birthday suit,
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.
Picture book, your mama and your papa,
and fat old Uncle Charlie out cruising with their friends.
Picture book, a holiday in August,
outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend.
Picture book, when you were just a baby,
those days when you were happy, a long time ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.

Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.
Picture book,
Na, na, na, na na,
Na, na, na, na na,
A-scooby-dooby-doo.

Picture book, pictures of your mama,
taken by your papa a long time ago.
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Long time ago,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Is it "Picturebook" by the kinks? (link is to Amazon to hear the clip)

See www.adtunes.com - good place to find this kind of thing out...
