Plop goes the tablet that gives the fizz,
It's that feel-better feeling,
That Alka Seltzer gives!

Or how about the old Pepsodent toothpaste commercial?

You'll wonder where the yellow went when yu brush your teeth with Pepsodent!

N E S T L E S, Nestle's makes the very best.....
Chocolate.....

Oh please, somebody give me a life!!(not a commercial, my own plea!)

He smashed the Mac at 105
Reduced the road to rubble,
25 dead who had been alive
But his face was free of stubble ---
Burma shave.

oneof a series of BS (speaking of BS) parodies we created 25 years ago on a slow day on the road.

Remember Trouble as in "I've got Trouble, all day"? It was a men's cologne, out about the same time as Hai Karate (there's another one for ya). I was working in Health & Beauty in a discount store...still have the "Trouble" calendar and a button that says, "I've got Trouble all day". Wander who was the brilliant one who dreamed that up?!

And, I can barely remember the one that said "He's an Aqua Velva man".

Also, had an English teacher who used the "Winston tastes like a cigarette should" to illustrate the improper use of "like". I think she tainted me on commercials for all time; I became hypercritical of them and think the MUTE button was one of the best inventions EVER!

But this is phun!

I'll give you a two-fer:

From the Land of Sky Blue Waters (waters)
From the land of pines, lofty balsams
Comes the beer refresing
Hamm's the beer refreshing
Hamm's.

or, (different tune)

From the Land of Sky Blue Waters
Capturing the frosty refreshment (?)
Hamm's Beer
Refreshing Hamm's Beer.

I've got some good Blatz and Schlitz commercials, if you want more....

Dave Swan's remark in another thread about hearing the Gillette march in his head got me thinking about some of the many commercial songs which have been drummed into our heads over the years.

Speaking of drumming, I am hearing a tom-tom and a chorus of men's voices:

"From the land of sky blue waters,"
(Does someone know the next line?)

Anyone have some other commercials from long ago and far away?
