The 30-year-old track has been specially re-written by the band for the campaign, which encompasses TV, a short-film documentary, a print campaign and a social media push with a .
BBH will bring the campaign idea to life through a series of musical experiments where artists are commissioned to re-write and record a slowed down, chilled out version of one of their most famous fast tracks.

The film documentary charts the process of the band re-writing the track in the studio.
