Isn't is sad the there are no NEW jingles? That advertisers are more likely to use a 40 year old song than create something new? Does nostalgia really sell? Guess I answered my own question by enjoying this thread. "It's the place for you and the place for me, it's the local, public Library" PSA from when I was a kid! | ||

LL, Id agree that it seems more prevalent today but a number of old commercials had music lifted and re-worked from showtunes and other older popular music..."Im gonna wash that grey right out of my hair" for Clairol or something like that and "who wears short shorts" for Nair are two examples. "Calendar Cat" took the old Neil Sedaka song, "Calendar Girl". It may not have been the 70s but it was the 80s I think when the beef commercials used Copland too. Were commercials longer when we were kids by the way? and Mark, we are most likely around the same age..of course, being on the BOT will age you quicker. | ||

Timex... It takes a licking and keeps on ticking! (Image of elephant standing on watch.) | ||

I remember the live Milton Berle show when they strapped the Timex to the propeller of an outboard motor, put it in a barrell, revved it up, and showed how it kept on ticking. Only it wasn't there. "But if it were here, it would still be ticking." I laughed and laughed. That's why they will never bring back live TV. |
