25 Feb 98 - 09:34 PM (#22284) Subject: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Reid (Faded Denim) I'm realy keen on finding someone who can provide me with the words and music to the "Wonderbra" jingle that was in vogue in the 70's (80's ??). Can you help me where to search? |
25 Feb 98 - 11:47 PM (#22296) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Alex No, but I can give you this one. What did the Wonderbra say to the hat? You go on ahead and I'll give these two a lift. |

27 Feb 98 - 02:48 PM (#22433) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Joe Offer Whoa! How'd you do that, Bert? Oh, and as for your comments about stereo, why is it that you have two ears? Is your spare one up for sale? (grin) -Joe- |
27 Feb 98 - 03:33 PM (#22439) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Bert Hi Joe, I got two of lots of things :-) None are for sale. I sent you a message. Bert. |
27 Feb 98 - 06:23 PM (#22470) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Alex Since we have made a segue from bras into the subject of twos, how come we have a pair of pants but a bra is singular? |

27 Feb 98 - 07:50 PM (#22486) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Dawn Geez, Alex, last time I checked there were two legs in my PAIR of pants.... just like there's two....oh, never mind |
27 Feb 98 - 07:51 PM (#22487) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Art Thieme but seriously folks I remember the Playtex Living Bra commercial---but the big problem was WHAT TO FEED IT???? And possibly you mean not the Wonderbra jingle------you must want the WONDER BREAD jingle? It was all about red, yellow and blue balloons & making one healthy l2 ways...and if you get REAL HEALTHY you might need a Wonderbra! |
27 Feb 98 - 11:59 PM (#22510) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Alex You must mean the Wonderbra JIGGLE. |
28 Feb 98 - 09:49 AM (#22526) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Rodney Rawlings For the first serious reply, I offer: Wonderful, wonderful ... Won-der-bra-aa! (Probably two simple chords, tonic and dominant, underneath.) That's all I remember!

28 Feb 98 - 11:20 AM (#22534) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Dawn Wonder Woman didn't NEED one of these! |
28 Feb 98 - 11:53 AM (#22536) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Sharon Wonderbra - Is that one of those western bras ? You know.........round 'em up, head 'em out. |
28 Feb 98 - 04:43 PM (#22559) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Alex ... but if you didn't have an 18-hour Wonderbra would you have raw hide? |

01 Mar 98 - 12:48 PM (#22625) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Reid (Faded Denim) So many comedians ... so little work!!! Hey all you punsters, doesn't anybody remember that there was a complete 60 second commercial that included a very romantic up-beat 80's woman type lyrics that ended in "Wonderful Wonderfull ... Wonder-Bra-a-a". It would be a great number to include in our repertoire. So how about some clues as to where to search for this song. Thanks |
01 Mar 98 - 03:41 PM (#22638) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Art Thieme Sounds to me (in my head--from the feel of your lyric) like it'd have the tune of " Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen" from the old kid's film with Danny Kaye aboutHans Christian Anderson. |
02 Mar 98 - 12:26 AM (#22702) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Alex Sorry, Reid, but I guess the answer is obvious - comics we may be, but we have NFI about the song. As an alternative, a buddy of mine wrote a song about the time Marshall Fields in Chicago started putting nipples on the mannequins and the possible future developments of this trend. It ends with the line ".. those marketing geniuses who put plastic penises on the mannequins at Mashall Fields". |
02 Mar 98 - 12:42 PM (#22742) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Reid OK thanks guys - I appreciate your efforts - let me know if you hear anything more. R |
02 Mar 98 - 02:09 PM (#22752) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: dick greenhaus Dunno. Could this have something to do with the pale drooping maiden in Hard Times? |
02 Mar 98 - 08:12 PM (#22774) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca I remember the jingle, but can't help you on a source. Maybe the advertising agency can. Err, in what kind of show do you intend to sing it? |
03 Mar 98 - 12:12 AM (#22799) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen Hi all, Just out of curiosity I did an internet search on "Wonderbra" and found a parody on the Wonderwall song by Oasis ( you're allowed to plead ignorance about the band Oasis if you don't listen to modern radio stations or don't have teenage kids. Are there really over 600 sites with references to the Wonderbra? :-0 A cultural phenomenon, perhaps? Helen (to the tune to Wonderwall, by Oasis) Today is gonna be the day That I'm gonna take that thing off you By now you should've somehow Realised what I want to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about your bra Backbeat the word is on the street That neither one is quite that large I'm sure you've shown them both before So I don't see why you gotta charge I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about your bra And all the straps that keep it up are tiddly And all the clasps that keep it closed are fiddly There are many things that I would like to take off you But I don't know how And maybe You're gonna be the one that lets me And after all It's a wonderbra Today was gonna be the day But you won't let me do that thing to you By now I shoulda somehow Worked out how to make your bra undo I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about your bra And all the straps that hold it up are tiddly And all the clips that keep it there are fiddly There are many things that I would like to take off you But I don't know how And maybe You're gonna be the one who lets me And after all It's a wonderbra I said maybe You're gonna be the one who lets me You're gonna be the one who lets me You're gonna be the one who lets me http://www.odyssee.net/~jared/brasong.htm http://www.omax.co.uk/massager/forest.htm Thought it might be appropriate for this thread. It still means that we have NFI (see Alex's comments) about the Wonderbra jingle, but it helps to while away the time until someone comes to the rescue with some *real* information. Helen |
03 Mar 98 - 12:14 AM (#22800) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen Sorry I cut & paste the last site address by mistake. Just ignore it, please. Helen |
03 Mar 98 - 02:10 PM (#22834) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Art Thieme See the new thread for TITTERY-I-RE-AY |
03 Mar 98 - 05:29 PM (#22845) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Reid (Faded Denim) Helen, Thanks for the Oasis parody - my 19 year old son is a fan and will get a kick out of it (as did I). Tim, We are singing 60's style trio type stuff and the Wonderbra jingle is actually a pretty decent tune with nice lyrics until the unsuspecting listener hears the surprise ending. Lots of fun eh? (Canadian eh?) |
03 Mar 98 - 07:47 PM (#22858) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen I suppose all the Trivial Pursuit players have read the answer to "Who invented the bra?" and laughed their heads off when they found out it was Otto Titslinger. Helen |

04 Mar 98 - 10:52 PM (#23028) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: rich r In the 1950's there was an advertising jingle that played frequently, at least in eastern Wisconsin. Not so surprisingly it was about a cheese. All I remember is: "Wunderbar, Wunderbar, what a wonderful cheese you are" Perhaps it was the folk process that mutated Wunderbar into Wonderbra. rich r |
13 Mar 98 - 07:31 AM (#23689) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Faded Denim This enquiry seems to have sort of petered out - I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on other ways of pursuing this - like contacting the manufacturer or ad agency. I'd really like to keep this going until we find some results. Reid. |
13 Mar 98 - 06:20 PM (#23726) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen Er, um, ... Reid, I think this might mean that a lot of us didn't spend much time watching television ads - but okay, let's keep the thread at the top, it's a challenge, and I'm in for it! I love a challenge, it's like detective work. How a out we all start thinking laterally about possible ways to track it down. Anyone know of any useful internet sites we can look up? Helen |
13 Mar 98 - 06:21 PM (#23727) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen Sorry that should read "How about.." but all you lateral thinkers would have figured that out, eh? Helen |
15 Mar 98 - 08:16 AM (#23828) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Faded Denim Helen, I've tried searching "wonderbra" and come up with multitudinous hits - none of which lead me to the jingle or the advertising agency that would have run the commercials. Maybe its a Barry Manilow creation! Do ya think?? |
01 Oct 99 - 06:37 PM (#119922) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Faded Denim It's been over a year now. Is there anybody new on the forum who knows all the lyrics and tune to the Wonderbra commercial? Or any ideas on where to search? Reid |
01 Oct 99 - 07:28 PM (#119939) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Margo Wow, amazing! You've been looking for this for a year??? I would only search on the internet as anyone would, no tricky secret. Margarita |
04 Oct 99 - 10:16 AM (#120464) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Faded Denim Hah! So you say Margarita. I know it sounds easy!! But so far everyone I know has come up blank. (There's a challenge for you.) :o) I 'll keep trying. Please let me know if you come up with anything. Reid. |
04 Oct 99 - 07:13 PM (#120715) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen Faded Denim, Am I allowed to admit that I have probably never even heard the Wonderbra jingle, being over here in OZ, but I still think it's a good challenge for the Mudcat detectives. Helen |
04 Oct 99 - 07:16 PM (#120717) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Helen back again: what are the lyrics you *do* know of this jingle? It might help to find the tune if we recognise the song. (Is it a tune or words belonging to an already existing song?) Helen |
05 Oct 99 - 11:29 AM (#120928) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Faded Denim Helen, Thank goodness you're still with me on this! (The faithful search team!). Sorry - I don't know! See my thread above 01-Mar-98, 12:48. I can't remember any details - except that when I heard it (20 years ago?) I was surprised to find that it was a "Wonderful, Wonderfulll.... Wonderbra-ah" commercial. I still think the people who ran the ads or created the ads, should have some archive footage somewhere of this commercial - but so far I've not found who or where! Oh woe is me - Will my life never be fulfilled!! :) Reid |
05 Oct 99 - 12:06 PM (#120944) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Barbara Sounds like the tune might be "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen..." do you think? Blessings, Barbara |
05 Oct 99 - 12:14 PM (#120947) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: Roger the skiffler I don't remember this jingle but have found the whole thread very uplifting RtS (who may need a wonderbra soon if he doesn't diet!) |
05 Oct 99 - 06:58 PM (#121064) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: MAG (inactive) don't know this one, as I was probably in my braless phase when it went by; do know a wonderful song entitled "Flying Bras at Sunset," about the joys of coming home and ripping off the damn over-the-shoulder-bouldet-holders. I'll try to remember the post the composer and tape title tomorrow. MA |
05 Oct 99 - 08:27 PM (#121090) Subject: RE: The Wonderbra Jingle From: sophocleese I asked a couple of guys who I knew watched a lot of television if they could remember this jingle. The answer was they weren't into brand names, just content. I'll keep looking and asking women friends. |
