Songs from commercials when we were growing up

<p>Sometimes, out of nowhere a song jumps into my head. The funny part is that these songs come from Friday night or Saturday morning television in the 1970s, especially commercials…just how much TV did I watch? </p>

<p>Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce
Special orders don’t upset us
All we ask is that you let us serve it your way…
Have it your way at Burger King…</p>

<p>Once in a while you stop.
Just for the fun of it, and you stop.
And while there’s many a good reason to own a Kodak Pocket Instamatic Camera
One good reason:
For the fun of it!</p>

<p>CSEA
New York State’s largest
Public employee union!</p>

<p>Does anyone remember a PSA in the '70s about the dangers of drugs that was like a childhood chant (in a pentatonic scale)? The end was “…needles, pills. If one don’t get ya, the other one will”?
I only remember that part and it bugs me.</p>

<p>“See the USA, in your Chevrolet
America, is asking you to call”</p>

3

<p>Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya
Brylcreem, you look so debonair
Brylcreem, the gals’ll all pursue ya
They love to run their fingers through your hair.</p>

4

<p>“I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, I’d like to buy the world a coke and keep it company. It’s the real thing…”</p>

5

<p>My bologna has a first name. It’s O S C A R. My bologna has a second name. It’s
M A Y E R.</p>

<p>I have no idea why this is still in my head 40+ years later, but I still remember the Sheraton Hotel jingle with their phone number repeating . . . 800-325-3535, 800-325-3535.</p>

<p>pop pop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is!</p>

8

<p>EPTR–beat me to it! Just about to add that one.</p>

9

<p>Ei…Yi,YiYi…I am the Frito Bandito.
Give me Frito’s corn chips and I’ll be your friend
The Frito Bandito , you must not offend.
…or something like that!</p>

<p>How about the un-PC old Geritol commercial… “My wife, I think I’ll keep her!”</p>

<h1>7</h1>

<p>That’s PLOP, PLOP, as in, drop the Alka-seltzer in the glass and the tablet plops in the water.</p>

12

<p>'Please, Mother, I’d rather do it myself!"
From some headache medicine…</p>

<p>My sisters and I thought that was hilarious.</p>

13

<p>I’m pretty sure it was Excedrin.</p>

<p>Gotta check out Barry Manilow’s “VSM” - the “Very Strange Medley” of all the jingles he wrote before he made it big…I remember quite a few of them…</p>

<p>Horrible, I still won’t buy any Bic products.</p>

<p>I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan and never, never, never let you forget your a man…cause I’m a woman…</p>

<p>Can’t remember what the commercial was for/</p>

<p>Does your shoe have a boy inside?
What a funny place for a boy to hide.
Does your shoe have a dog there too?
A boy and a dog and a foot in a shoe.
Well the boy is Buster Brown
And the dog is Tige his friend
And it’s really just a picture
But it’s fun to play pretend
So look look look in the telephone book
For the store that sells the shoes
With a picture of the boy and the dog inside
And you can put your foot in too.
Buster Brown shoes! Arf Arf</p>

18

<p>I remember it as: Here’s Buster Brown
He lives in a shoe,
Here’s his dog, Tige
He lives there too.</p>

<p>fishymom- That was for Enjoli perfume. You can see it on Youtube.</p>

<p>I’m Chiquita banana and I’ve come to say - Bananas have to ripen in a certain way
When they are fleck’d with brown and have a golden hue
Bananas taste the best and are best for you
You can put them in a salad - You can put them in a pie-aye
Any way you want to eat them - It’s impossible to beat them
But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator.</p>

<p>I couldn’t remember all the words, so I googled it.</p>
