My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer
It’s not bitter, not sweet
It’s the extra-dry treat
Won’t you try extra-dry Rheingold beeeeeeeerrr!

(that one was sung to the tune of the “Estudiantina Waltz” 😃 )

And from the days when I watched a Spanish language channel to see a really good disco dance contest show:

Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno!

Also from the Spanish language channel (and this one was priceless) – Nancy Walker (think “Rhoda Morgenstern’s Mother”) doing commercials for Bounty paper towels – in Spanish – in her own voice, not dubbed, complete with bad accent! 😃 😃

I did a little research on that percolator coffee commercial, and it was Maxwell House. Apparently the song was known as “Perky”. It dates back from the days when coffee came in cans that were wider than they were tall (as opposed to today’s cans, which are taller than they are wide). Yes, I’m that old. :o

“So, folks, pick up a pack of Chesterfield cigarettes - recommended by more doctors than any other brand.”

Okay, guess how old I am!?! 😃

Oops, think I had a few mistakes in that Armour Hot Dog jingle – I believe this is how it’s supposed to go:

Hot Dogs, Armour Hot Dogs
What Kind of Kids Eat Armour Hot Dogs?
Fat Kids, Skinny Kids, Kids Who Climb on Rocks,
Tall Kids, Short Kids, Even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs,
Armour hot dogs,
the dog…kids…love…to…bite!"

You sure are…:whistle: 😃
 
speecy-spicy meatballs (heartburn remedy, probably Alka selzer)

Brylcream, a little dable doo ya Brylcream, you put it in your hair (greaser attracted blondes who rubbed their fingers thru his greasy hair) probably where Fred Flintstone got the idea for yabba dabba doo

the coke commercial with all ya need is love or give peace a chance or some other 70s peace and love message with a whole crowd of people on a hillside got it, I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony . . .

love the clydesdales, especially the one with all music, no commercial

20 mule team borax (we got one made of metal probably as a premium from the company, one of our favorite toys) I think it was a sponsor for that old western show that had Ronald Reagan on as announcer, or else it came on right before or after his show. Death Valley days was the show, and that mournful dirge as the mule team trekked across that valley was chilling and exciting for some reason, can’t remember the song, and you kids are too young

I want my FAYGO - the little guy who screamed the punchline (locally bottled pop in Detroit, the original red pop)

How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?

Farfal the dog singing N E S T L E S Nestle makes the very best - CHAAAAWclate.

Soupy Sales with White Fang and BlackTooth hawking vitamins and Campbells soup on a noontime kiddy show in Detroit

Remember OJ magically sailing thru the air to land in a Hertz rent-a-car?

Betcha can’t eat just one (Lay’s potato chip)

Brusha Brusha Brusha with the new Ipana - Bucky the Beaver (we all had that nickname because we all had buck teeth, my brother was just called Brusha)

Kate Smith used to have a morning show when I was a very little girl (my grandmother had TV then but we didn’t and she loved that show). the sponsor was a brand of tissue that had a baby deer as a mascot, animated, I loved that little fawn and used to wait eagerly for the commercials.
 
Here’s one that’s so old and dusty that I’ll bet most people here can’t even remember the product!

Eat too much?
Drink too much?
Drink Brioschi!
Drink Brioschi!

(pronounced bree-oss-key; accent on the second syllable)

It’s an antacid, and it’s still around. It comes in white granules of varying sizes and shapes. It has a very fizzy, lemon flavor. When my sister and I were kids, we used to sneak the bottle of Brioschi, and eat the stuff as a snack. :bigyikes:

How about this one (I’m relying on my rusty memory for the lyrics, so they may be a bit off):

Ban won’t wear off as the day wears on
Ban won’t wear off as the day wears on
Ban gets you through the longest day
Ban has the stuff to stay and stay

I have several videos of old TV commercials – love 'em; I’d rather watch them than movies!

One of my all time favorites:

adcouncil.org/campaigns/historic_campaigns_pollution/

On the right side of the screen click on Indian in canoe…(have your speakers turned on)…(it plays a little choppy, but I’m only on a dial up connection)…

"In a public service announcement that aired on the first-ever “Earth Day” in 1971, television viewers watched Iron Eyes paddle his canoe up a polluted stream past a belching smokestack, and walk to the edge of a busy highway strewn with trash. As the camera moved in for a close-up, a single tear rolled down Iron Eyes’ cheek, a tear for the fate of America. “People start pollution,” said the narrator’s voice, “people can stop it.”
That tear proved more eloquent than any words, as viewers found themselves profoundly moved, and dedicated themselves to preserving the beauty of the American landscape. The ecology movement, still in it infancy, had found a powerful ally in the talents of Iron Eyes Cody; the commercial left an impression on millions of us who saw the spot. In fact, the spot was recently named one of the top fifty commercials of all time. People who saw the advertisement still remember Iron Eyes and his plea to all Americans to protect the environment.

For the rest of his life, Iron Eyes would carry on his mission to preserve America’s beauty. His crusade took him everywhere, from lecture halls and school auditoriums to audiences with presidents, royalty, and the Pope.
 
This is going way back, but they used to have one for Gillette razors during the friday nite boxing matches. They would ring a bell, and sing “Look sharp, feel sharp and be sharp” The music was sort of a march type tune. Aren’t we amazing? We can remember all these old commercials, but we can remember what last weeks homily and reading were about. I’m guilty, too.
 
I always liked the Iron Eyes Cody anti-pollution ad, too.

Anyone remember this?

Brylcreme, a little dab’ll do ya
Brylcreme, you look so debonair
But watch out, the gals will all pursue ya-a-a
They’ll love to put their fingers through your hair.

The, the “dry look” became popular, and the hair dressing/tonic/cream commercials started saying “no more greasy kid stuff”. 😃

My earliest memory of a cool Christmas Commercial was when I as about two years old in 1977 or so, the NORELCO RAZOR RIDIN" SANTA!!! It was the best… I also remember the people with 70’s style coats and hats holding candles and singing “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I’d like to buy the world a coke and keep it company” and then at the end, the camera panned out and the people formed a lit Christmas tree. For a 2-3 yr old that was pretty amazing stuff!

I can still remember all the toy commercials from the time I was age 4-10. For some reason I have the Lee press on nail commercial memorized, and still do. I used to memorize long commercials so I could practice my acting skills. 🙂
 
Does anyone remember the commercial with a Native American Indian Chief standing on a mountain and crying because of Pollution. It always made me very sad, I was very young.
 
Mr. Potatoe Head I love You!!!

It’s my turn to operate!!! <— still don’t know how I feel about that toy lol.

-D
 
There was another commercial where people were drinking from a water fountain in the park as the jingle in the background said “Water… the best no-calorie drink in all the world”

Did anyone else who was a kid in the 70s ever stand on the edge of their bed and yell… “Take the Nestea, Nestea, Nestea, Nestea PLUNGE !!” and fall backward onto their bed? It was from a Nestea commercial where the people fell backwards into a swimming pool.

The life commercial “Give it to Mikey, he’ll eat anything.”
