"The whole town's talkin' about the Webb boys
The Webb boys
The Webb boys
The whole town's talkin' about the Webb boys..."
I'm pretty sure it was a car dealership, but I'm not even 100% about that.

Isn't that the same free market solution that gave us global warming?
and also,
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
She usually doesn't comment on it other than to say turn it down, but during the second movement, she said, "Who composed that? He must be a crazy man."
I explained that it was by Beethoven, and that some of Beethoven's music had a violent quality to it, which may be what she was trying to say.
"Was he that blind one?"
"No, he went deaf."
"Well, he must have been deaf. Or crazy, to compose that."
I explained that this was Beethoven's early music and that he wasn't deaf at that point.
"Did he do a lot of drugs?"
No, I explained. I don't think Beethoven would have if he COULD have. He always struck me as a hardcore work ethic type that would have contempt for drugs. But, I added, Mozart probably would have got high all the time and been a full-blown junkie if he had had access to any good stuff. Two very different personalities.

The Change You Deserve™
Are these symptoms of depression interfering with your life?
• Not involved with family and friends the way you used to be?
• Low energy, fatigue?
• Not motivated to do the things you once looked forward to doing?
• Not feeling as good as you used to?
If you're experiencing symptoms of depression and you're not where you want to be, talk to your doctor about your treatment options.
Recommend the Drug Effexor, an anti-anxiety drug not the GOP, McCain or the Republican party.
McCain, the GOP or the Republican party may enhance your condition and cause further complications.
And an "I" ( and an "IZZ")!
And a double-Z for FIZZIES!
Add I-E-S and without a mess
You've made yourself a FIZZIES!"
"Brylcreem! A little dab'll do ya!
Brylcreem! You'll look so debonair!
Brylcreem! The gals'll all pursue yaaaaa!
They love to run their fingers through your hair!"
Sing it over and over and over again!
Frosty Morn...
Sing it over and over and over again!
Frosty Morn...
The height of a piggy's ambition,
From the day he is born,
He hopes that he will be good enough
To be a Frosty Morn!
So, everybody join in
And sing it over and over and over again!"
Suicide Food: Frosty Morn Sausage
And now I am stuck with the song in my head (a Disney creation?) Thumbalina, Thumbalina, tho youre very small, dont you know that in my heart youre 10 feet tall.
you will like it, like it, like it on your table, table, table
also, not a commercial, but a cartoon theme song:
There's a prehistoric monster, it came from outer space
Created by the Martians to destroy the human race
The FBI is helpless; it's twenty storeys tall
What can we do? Who can we call?
Call Tobor, the 8 Man, Tobor, the 8 Man
Swifter than a rocket, faster than a jet
He's the mighty robot, he's the one to get!
Does anyone else remember this, or is it a figment of my fevered childhood imagination?
i remember Tobor, the 8 man!
can anyone go this far back for a commercial jingle?
knock on any Norge, ba boom boom boom
knock on any Norge, ba boom boom boom
hear the solid sound of quality
knock on any Norge...

I can bring home the bacon,
Fry it up in the pan

Cuz I'm a Woman - W-O-MAN
Just say it again!
Awful.

Come on out and greet the Mets
Bring the kiddies, bring the wife
Guaranteed you'll have the time of your life
Because the Mets are really sockin the ball
Knockin that homerun over the wall
East side, west side
Everbody's come to town
To meet the M-E-T-S, Mets
Of New York town.
It's been 44 years and I still sing this in my sleep. Help me.
Faberge
Still smoking?
You mean, still smokin' hot.
I grew up in Georgia, but even we laughed hysterically at that girl's accent. It was so bizarre to us the way she stretched the word "helped" out into 2 loooooong syllables!! We always wondered "Where on earth did they find that girl?"
Remember Coke's "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony..." ?
The commercial had folks from all over the world standing in a field singing.
Imagine if that commercial came out today. Coke would be skewered in the media , unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizers, and a boycott led by all the right wing yappers.
Remember the native american who shed a tear about pollution?
The commercial would be blacklisted today and the actor would never work again either.
How times have changed.
That's the local commercial...
The national one is one I cannot watch ever again cause it creeped me out as a kid. For risk of losing my man card I'll say it: Levi's Blue Jeans "Logo" commercial that starts off: "COME LITTLE TRADEMARK, TIME FOR A WALK, WHERE ARE WE GOING..."
I forget the rest.
I tried to watch the rest on You Tube and it gave me nightmares. The commercial litterally creeps me out for some reason. Only commercial to ever do so despite being ahead of its time in graphics and design.

Remember that awful "Shake and Bake" commercial in the 1960's, which advertised Shake 'n Bake as a means of getting your kids involved in cooking chicken for dinner? At the end of the commercial, a little girl with a particularly obnoxious Southern accent enthusiastically said "...and I helped!"
I grew up in Georgia, but even we laughed hysterically at that girl's accent. It was so bizarre to us the way she stretched the word "helped" out into 2 loooooong syllables!! We always wondered "Where on earth did they find that girl?"
----
LOL.
I grew up in the North and thought the accent was legit.
(Also thought you guys all made fried chicken together all the time.)
Remember the McDonalds commercial, where they're singing in the store a sort of a full-length version of the "you deserve a break today" song.
"There is nothing so clean, as my frying machine"
OK, my question is this:
They were all adults in that commercial--even middle aged guys, if I remember correctly.
Did real working adults work in McDonalds at one time?
Or does the commercial just fudge there, and McDonalds in the late 60s /early 70s were still run by kids (and occasionally retirees), like now.
" Turn to Salem,see how Salem ,refreshes' your taste..
From the first puff to that last puff,any time,any place"
It was a Friday payday treat for my kids, if I could squeeze it out of the budget.
noo noo noodle-o's...
"I'm Buster Brown,
I live in shoe.
Here's my dog Tag,
He lives there too."
Arghhh!
I say it's crackle, the cripsy sound
You've got to have crackle or the clock's not wound
geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle
but crackle makes the world go 'round.
Gah.
The Faygo Old Fashioned Root Beer commercial: The last part went like this:
"Oh, the stagecoach went on headin' through the mountain,
and Old Black Bart went off to jail I hear.
Which way did he go, which way did he go?
He went for Faygo Old Fashioned Root Beer!! "
The other one was a local dealership in Detroit, Michigan which went something like this:
"Stay on the right track, to 9 mile and Mack,
Roy O'Brien's trucks and cars make your money back.
Save yourself a lot of dollars, dollars,
by buying a truck or car today.
Save yourself a lot of dollars, dollars,
buy driving on his way to day. "
( A bonus: "Brusha, brusha, brusha, new Ipana toothpaste!! ) The animated character in the commercial was a beaver appropriately named,
Bucky Beaver! )
OK, that's it for now. Are there any more of you other "old fogies" who remember these? ;-)
And an "I" ( and an "IZZ")!
And a double-Z for FIZZIES!
Add I-E-S and without a mess
You've made yourself a FIZZIES!"
FIZZES!
Used to feed 'em to my little brother! (he could also be counted on to see what Milkbone treats tasted like...)

my baloney has a second name, it's MAYER
i love to eat it every day
and if you ask me why i'll saaaaaaaaay,
cause Oscar Mayer has a way with BOLOGNA.
get THAT outta your head.
"T-I-D-E" is the first one I remember. And a big "Ho-ho-ho" from the Jolly Green Giant. I think the "Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat" commercial is about the same vintage.
Nestlé's makes the very best
Choooooooooclate
aiyeeee... Farfel! BAD DOG!! get OUT of my head!!!!
That is what I'd truly like to be
Cause if I was an oscar mayer weiner
everyone would be in love with me!
What about Calgon? "Ancient Chinese SEcret, HUH?"
And there was one commercial that fascinated and scared me, for Wish Bone (I think) salad dressing, where they would pour the dressing on a bowl of salad, and then the salad would JUMP - because zippy Wish Bone dressing makes the flavor jump, or something.
