Old jingles

[superiorgirl]

I was just reading the post about the cleaning products and the discussion on getting ring around the collar out. There used to be a commercial for a laundry product and in it they showed men who had collar stains - and chanted 'ring around the collar, ring around the collar'. Anyone else remember this??

So my question is, what other vintage ad jingles do you have stored in your vault of useless information at the top of your neck?? Any that relate to stuff we might be thrifting today?

Oh, I do indeed remember that "ring around the collar" chant.

I was trying to think-- I remember when I was a kid this perfume ad with a blonde girl, hair blowing in the breeze as she perkily walked down city streets and the singer singing, "It's Chaaaarlie!" Charlie perfume. I don't think it exists anymore.

Actually, I think it still does, and remember something about them doing a retro "Charlie" commercial soon......

Makes me think of Mr. Whipple who just passed "Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin." I still miss Gordon Jump as the Maytag repairman, though I can remember when Jesse White was the repairman. I don't know who the new guy is.

Sometimes the ads are better than the programming. Lately it seems not, and there seems to be 20 minutes of advertising in a 30 minute time slot. That would leave 10 minutes of program . . . I must be exaggerating!

I remember Gordon Jump as the Maytag repairman, and Mr. Carlson on WKRP.

(I used to turn the stereo up all the way and floor it whenever that ad came on the radio when I was driving my old Bonneville wagon with the big block V-8.)

(Commercial starts with a guy trying to say Isuzu, but never pronounces it right.)  After several tries a Japanese man walks up to him and says "That's ok, I can't say Chivaway"

Wow, you get a gold star, Jay, for that list! All of that info was just lurking there in your brain! Amazing! I bow before your pop-cultureness...

Mom, Do you ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?

When I think about summer, cool breezes, fresh air,
When I get that feeling, Summer's Eve takes me there.
It's that cool, fresh feeling that keeps the good times on my mind
Summer's Eve brings back freshness every time.


Ew.

Stephielou, I'm so scared that you know that whole commercial by heart! 

I found the ring around the collar commercial on YouTube.  Here's the link:

Hmmm, I'm just getting warmed up...

Where's the beef? (Wendy's)


On a somewhat related note, in the episode of The Simpsons where they spoof the novel "Lord of the flies" one of the childern exclaims "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's!"  All the other childern gasp at the thought.

I gotta tell ya Cookie, I'm pretty disturbed by this myself!

Your youtube link reminded me of this ad someone recently posted on my brother's myspace page. It's for a 80's vest with speakers in it. I thrifted my bro one of these somewhere around '95. Saw it on a display/mannequin/torso thingie on top of the racks, which I pulled down and undressed with abandon. The bro used to wear it to high school blaring punk rock from his pecs. Love it.

Mmmmmust get Music Vest.....

[valleythriftshopper]

I found an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Hallmark Keepsake ornament at the SA before Christmas.  It is a model of the original wienermobile that has a battery inside & plays the oscar mayer song- a classic!

It is too bad John Cusack didn't have one of those music vests in "Say Anything", then he would not have had to hold that big boom box over his head, he could have just opened his vest.  Maybe that would not have had the same dramatic effect.

Is it really new, or is it just stuff we've already seen on Sci-Fi?
