Old Commercial Tunes

[bostonlass]

, who remembers how the rest of this song goes...

The world looks mighty good to me, cuz tootsie roll is all I see....(then I don't remember this part).....tootsie roll center with the chocolaty chew, tootsie roll I think I'm in love with you....

It's making me crazy, I can see the tootsie roll train and everything, but I can't remember the lyrics....

Also remember Freakies cereal and the Freakies Tree? I got all excited remembering that and my daughter looked at me and said "Yeah, were they packed with sugar?"

The world looks mighty good to me
Cause Tootsie rolls are all I see
Whatever it is I think I see
Becomes a Tootsie roll to me
Tootsie roll, how I love your choclatey chew
Tootsie roll, I think I'm in love with you

Not that this was TOO long ago but....remember when cable tv just first came out and there were NO commercials at all? Like...that was kind of the point of paying for it...so you didn't have to sit through commercials. The first time I remember seeing commercials on cable tv as a matter of fact was on CNN when they broadcast the first war in Iraq and they only did it because they were losing so much money not broadcasting other shows. Am I right or do i have that wrong?

You can take Salem out of the country, but...!
(ching!)
You can't take the country out of Salem!


Winston tastes good,
Like a (clap, clap!) cigarette should!


Wouldn't you really rather have a Bu-ick,
A Bu-ick, a Bu-ick!
Wouldn't you really rather have a Bu-ick,
A Bu-ick, this year?


See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet!
America's inviting you to call....!


Mercury for '68 has more of everything, more of everything!
Yes! At the top of the Big M line for 1968---elegance unlimited!


From the land of sky-blue waters (waters!)

Because a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer, until you've tasted Hamms!


Suppose you couldn't afford to serve your friends Harvey's Bristol Cream? How would they know that you care?


My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer!


When you say Buuuuuuuuuud-weiser! You've said it all! (boom-boom!)


So when it's time to relax;
One beer stands clear (beer after beer)
Miller tastes too good to hurry through....
If you've got the time (if you've got the time)
We've got the beer! (Miller beer!)


I'd walk a mile for a Camel.


As you can see, I watched WAY too much TV as a kid. I remember cigarette commercials, beer commercials, car commercials.....

Remember the one for White Owl cigars?
"The minute you walked in the joint (waa-waa!)
I could tell you were a man of distinction!
A real big spender!
Hey, big spender!
Spend......a little time with me!"


Norelco: even our name says Merry Christmas!

I liked it so much, I bought the company!


Oh, it's my sweet creamy butter!

Wrong! It's Chiffon margerine! Fooled you, Mother Nature!

Oh, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature!


If you think it's butter---
But it's not! It's Chiffon!

Once upon a time, there was an engineer
And Choo-choo Charlie was his name we hear
He had an engine and he sure had fun
Using Good n' Plenty candies to make his train run

Charlie says, "I love my Good n' Plenty!"
Charlie says, "It really rings a bell!"

 

[Woodsy]

Ha!
Ha!
Sittin' pretty
All together in Schaeffer city!

 

[Woodsy]

'member this?

"Thanks, Easter Bunny! Bock! Bock!"

 

[AMDG]

Remember the Alka Selzer one?

Plop, plop,
Fizz, fizz
Oh what a relief it is!

Then there's that toothpaste one--

You'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

And for you older people, what was the one with the beaver and Ipana toothpaste?

As to those schoolhouse rock songs (that's the only way I know the reamble to the U.S. Constitution--by song)--you can buy them on CD. I'm thinking that I should replace the one I gave my granddaughter the other year--I think it was a special edition or so--hope I can find it.

A is for Apple

You need a good breakfast

So start it out with Apple Jacks!

Schaeffer is the one beer to have
When you're only havin' one....


Old Spice means quality, said the Cap'n to the bosun;
So look for the package with the ship that sails the ocean!
Yo-ho, yo-ho!


Mabel! Another Black Label!
Cold Black Label beer!


Chock Full o' Nuts is the heavenly coffee,
Heavenly coffee, heavenly coffee....


How'd you do that?
With my big bright beautiful white teeth---and Pepsodent!


Ask any mermaid you happen to see;
What's the best tuna? Chicken of the Sea!


But Charlie.....Starkist don't want tunas with good taste; Starkist wants tunas that taste good!


Another Gino's Pizza Roll, Kemo Sabe?


So, with all these standard options, do you think the Volkswagen Rabbit might catch on as a police pursuit vehicle everywhere?
Well, now, I don't know about everywheah......but you best watch yoah step in this part of Nawth Calinah!


Ammonia loses strength in water....Spic N' Span's power is released in water.


Mr. Clean cleans dust and dirt and grime
And grease in just a minute;
Mr. Clean will clean your whole house and everything that's in it.
Mr. Clean! Mr. Clean! Mr. Clean!


Oh Fab! I'm glad! They put real Borax in you!


Those dirty rings! You try scrubbing them out---soaking them out; and still you end up with....
Ring around the collar! Ring around the collar!
Now, try Wisk in water!


How do you get you shirts so clean, Mr. Lee?

Ancient Chinese secret!

My husband---some hotshot! Here's his ancient Chinese secret: Calgon!

We need more Calgon!

Ancient Chinese secret, huh?


Nescafe Instant Coffee! With flavor crystals!


I gotta stop....I could be here all night at this rate.

 

[AMDG]

I could be here all night at this rate.

And I'd be reading. I actually like that TVLand channel just for the old commercials they sometimes show!

Remember the Wrigley's gum of the 60's with those twins?

Double your pleasure. Double your fun.
With Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint gum!

 

[Auntie]

mmmmm good, mmmmm good,

that's what campbells soups are,

mmmmmm good!

 

[AMDG]

Another gum--Teaberry--chewing it makes one so happy that he does the "Teaberry Shuffle". We get to watch a football player suddenly have to do the "Teaberry Shuffle" (we suddenly hear the appropriate music) as he's heading for a goal.

And what about the "perculating" music of that one coffee? Was it "Good to the last drop", Maxwell House that later featured Mrs. Olsen making the coffee in EVERY house in EVERY ad (used to get the impression that she came with the can of coffee)?

And I think this is an older one--it's a men's hair dressing:

"Are you still using that greasy kid's stuff?"

The ad was trying to get guys to switch to Brylcream.

"Brylcream. A little dab will do you.
Brylcream. You'll look so debonair.
Brylcream. The gals will all come to you.
They love to run their fingers through your hair."
