…in an ad for Labatt beer; this was in the ‘90s IIRC. Those were the ads with the guy in the black bear suit (they were a Canadian beer company, after all). The bear is having dinner with a group of Japanese executives. Later, it shows the presumably inebriated bear and executives singing “You Made Me Love You” karaoke-style.

Hopefully, someone can post the YouTube clip here. I’m on a brand-new smartphone and haven’t figured that out yet.
