What is that tune that the Clorox commercial is written to?
"Mama's got the magic of clorox bleach"

Thanks,

I believe it's an original tune, and I'd bet good money it's by Robin Batteau or David Buskin (of Buskin and Batteau). They each write commercials to make money. Remember "Listen to the Heartbeat of America" for Chevy? Or "Be All That You Can Be'' for the Army? That was they? Them? One of they.

Oh, no. It's an old tune I've heard before, but can't place (calypso?). It's driving me crazy.

I tried a Google search for this commercial, and came up empty handed. Too bad there isn't an American version of this British site called What's That Tune? Alas, they have no listing for Clorox. For all I know, maybe Clorox isn't even sold in Britain.

Kinda' vaguely like "Shortnin' Bread"............or at least those are the words that I tend to "sing" to it when I hear the jingle.........
