Maybelline brings back 'Magnum P.I.' music
Fans of 1980s television might perk up when this ad for Maybelline's "The Falsies" Volum' Express mascara comes on. Could it be? Yes it is—a reworked version of the theme song from Magnum, PI. See the Maybelline spot below, and the Magnum intro below that. The visuals in the spot are more reminiscent of Charlie's Angels than the classic Tom Selleck series. But apparently, old crime fighters from the Aloha State are making a comeback. CBS's remake of Hawaii Five-O rolls out this fall.
