07 Feb 98 - 08:08 PM (#20917) Subject: Milko TV jingle From: rawlings@ican.net Does anyone have the full lyrics to the TV jingle for Milko? The commercial began with a little girl skipping along a sidewalk to the accompaniment of two bars of some skipping music, when she encounters a cow, and the conversation goes in speech-song to the music as follows:
GIRL: How now, brown cow, what's new with you?
COW: What's new, you ask - well, can I moo!
GIRL: You say it's new and tasty, too?
COW: That's right, little girl, and it's good for you.
[There follows more, and the ditty ends with:]
BOTH IN HARMONY: Make it by the pitcher or make it by the glass - We kids loved this commercial. Anyone got the rest? Rodney Rawlings "Music, Melody, and Songs" http://www.druid.net/~rodney |

So much of the information seems lost or misplaced by studios and stations. :-( Thank you, ever so much! |

LOL... Such is the power of advertising.... |

17 Jul 16 - 12:59 AM (#3800640) Subject: RE: Milko TV jingle From: GUEST,Gray What I remember about this commercial is that the very last line was, "Buy some for Lulu!" Well, I either misremember it, since this was also a tag line for Smarties candy, the Canadian version of M&Ms. Or, since Smarties were made by either Rowntree's or Nestlé's, it could be that Milk-o was too, and they capitalized on the tag line, which was very well known at the time. Well, that's all I've got. |

26 Feb 20 - 10:21 PM (#4036332) Subject: RE: Milko TV jingle From: GUEST,Frank Levin I recall the commercial differently. It had a background rhythm track and today might be considered an early rap song. How now brown cow, what's new with you? What's new you ask, well can I moo, It's Milko, Milko, instant chocolate Milko. Tastes smooth and creamy like chocolate oter, And listen to this, you just add water To Milko, Milko, instant chocolate Milko. So take a tip from the old brown cow, You'll love chocolate Milko, better get some now. That's Milko, Milko, instant chocolate Milko. This was heard in Ottawa, Canada in the late 50s or early 60s. |

In line 2, Hayhoe may not have been the correct name, but it rhymed. (Northern Ontario, Canada in the 50's) |
