The "commercialism and kids" thread got me thinking about all the jingles that I inadvertantly memorized as a kid. Some were actually public safety messages. "Buck-kle up for safety, Buckle up!" The crying American Indian. Smokey the Bear. Others were plain ol' commercialism: "Pepper up at 10, 2 and 4." "Take a BC powder and you'll come back strong." "And I hey-allped!" From Shake and Bake ads. My husband still sings some little ditty about a "Knock on any Norge"....I think it was a refrigerator. | ||

You can take salem out of the country but.... Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is (alka-seltzer) Winston tastes good like a cigarette should (we all added the following: no filter, no taste, just a 40 cent waste) | ||

"If you tell one friend, and she tells one friend....." "(Other cars?) go BOING, BOING, BOING and a Mazda goes HMMMMMMM" This was an ad for the new Mazda rotary engines. My dad actually went into the garage, pulled out his jig saw and made a model of the engine, he was forever fascinated by it. Mergele - I am lost on the "just a bill" quote! | ||

kmk: I think Mergele's quote was from the school rock series.... a bill that gets passed by the congress. There was a little jingle that they had with those words. | ||

I went to camp with a guy who wrote the Wrigleys chewing gum jingle... pick-a-pack... I can't remember the tune or most of the words. From the 60's: Schaffer is the one beer to have when you are having more than one... | ||

softparade, I like the union label song, too. It sounded so sweet, and I could imagine a young woman with kids singing it. Look for the Union Label A song by Paula Green, music by Malcolm Dodds ©1975, UNITE Union of Needltrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (formerly International Ladies' Garment Workers'Union and other unions) Look for the union label when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse. Remember somewhere our union's sewing, our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house. We work hard, but who's complaining? Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way! So always look for the union label, it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.! (sure is hard to find union-made clothing now, esp. for kids, and not many folks "able to make it in the U.S.A." in manufacturing) | ||

My very frugal and very Republican mom always insisted on buying union-label clothes when I was a kid (way back when there were moderate Republicans, with social conscience - oops, wrong thread) | ||

all the Schoolhouse Rock stuff is out on tape/CD, video, even book form, even a Schoolhouse Rock Rocks -- a bunch of bands covering the original songs..my kids have loved it. Naughty Number Nine, Three Is a Magic Number and Interplanet Janet are also biggies along with Im Just A Bill. But back to commercial jingles... Weebles wobble but they dont fall down. When it says Libbys Libbys Libbys on the label label label you will like it like it like it on your table table table. Who wears short shorts...Nair the whistling guy in the Old Spice commercial Oscar Meyer baloney/bologna (my baloney has a first name..its O-S-C-A-R -- David Sedaris does a skit about wanting to sing commercial jingles in Billie Holiday's voice and this is the tune he picks..pretty funny). baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet and the commercials without jingles I remember...the Pica balloon commercial (dont eat paint chips) and "VD?!?!? then...I must have it too!" |
