LOL! Anyone seen the latest Toyota commercial?
I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to put a symphonic rendition of "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor" behind a car advertisement! Now I keep coming up with new verses, like "put him in the seat of a brand-new Prius...".

Is that what that ad is for? I've heard the ad when my husband has the TV on in the other room, but I've never been interested enough to watch it and see what it's for.
There's another car ad that plays "Dust in the Wind" where the other cars are disintigrating (sp?) - but all I ever notice is the song, and I don't know what car it's advertising.
The jingles are what stick with me, although they don't usually influence my buying decisions. I knew all the words to the Winston, Salem, and Kent TV ads, but I don't smoke. Same for McDonalds - I can tell you what's in a Big Mac, but I tried one and didn't like it, so I buy a different sandwich when I eat there.
Although I do remember how to spell b-o-l-o-g-n-a!

"Give me a Winston, the Spirit of the USA!" Actually that was the jingle in their 1980's ad campaign when I was in Philippines. Not really the kind of thing that makes one especially proud to be an American.Charlene wrote:I knew all the words to the Winston, Salem, and Kent TV ads, but I don't smoke.

My wife hates that ad because now while she's at work, whenever she walks down the hall or is taking care of things by herself she hears - Shave his belly with a rusty razor, shave his belly with a rusty razor, shave his belly with a rusty razor, earl-eye in the more -- nine
I've been texting this to her on her mobile and emailing it as well to help cement it firmly in her head.

"It's the real thing."
Some cigarette adds I remember.
"Come up to the Kool taste, come up to Kool..."
"I'd walk a mile for a Camel" The guy always had a hole in his shoe.
"A silly millimeter longer...."
"You've got your own cigarette now baby, you've come a long long way."
"Man to man, smoke a Roy-Tan" (cigars)
"Winston tastes good, like a.." click click "...cigarette should."

I love the old ad jingles! As a person who grew up in Spokane during the '60s and '70s, I can still remember the phone number for Boyle Oil and the address for Sylvan Furniture:Charlene wrote:Is that what that ad is for?

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Next thing you know, we'll here some Grainger on a commercial.
oh Lana Turner we love you get up
Re: LOL! Anyone seen the latest Toyota commercial?
I laughed my @$$ off the first time I saw that ad! You've gotta wonder if the person doing the music slipped it in there on purpose, just to see if anyone caught it before it hit the airwaves.Redwolf wrote:I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to put a symphonic rendition of "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor" behind a car advertisement!

Oh yes, good old smiling Sylvan. They moved. There's a comedy club named Comedy Sportz there now. Boyle is still around.Redwolf wrote:I love the old ad jingles!

There's a used car lot in Greenacres that has been using the theme song from the old TV show Green Acres. Other than that, I haven't heard any memorable local ads lately.

Everytime I play one of his Hymns that he used a folk tune for, I still hear
"upon the gallows tree" instead of the words in the hymn book.

And eyes as gray as icicle fangs measure stranger
For size, honesty, and intent."
