TV Commercial Jingles from your childhood

[jkath]

A girl from our little private school was the girl in most of their print ads, actually.

Here's one:
"You can play hard....'HOWARD!'
or you can play soft....'hey, howard!'
Soft'll get 'em every time...
Love's Baby Soft"

 

[jkath]

Anyone remember the little things they used to show on ABC between the cartoons on Saturday mornings in the 70's?

"I hanker for a hunk of cheese"
and
"I'm Mr. Yuckmouth...cause I don't brush!"

 

[middie]

omg i remeber those jkath !!!
also something about how a
bill became a law ??

 

[jkath]

nooooo - those were "america rock", "multiplication rock" and "grammar rock". They were way cooler. (mine were the little excerpts between stuff)

but....since we're talking about those...

"I'm little twelve-toes"
"I got six....that's all there is"

"conjunction junction...what's your function? Picking up words and phrases and clauses...and, but & or....they'll get ya pretty far"

 

[middie]

Hi Amber: I presume you mean some bad BRITISH ones? (I'm not English!)

Give me a moment to think.........

 

[jkath]

"This is Rex
He keeps up with the kids all day
He's a Dog Chow dog"

 

[Barbara L]

Dog: "It's BACON!!!!!"
Person: "It's not bacon. It's Beggin' Strips."

I always loved that one!

"Parkay"
(little margarine tub says "butter")
"No, it's Parkay"
(little margarine tub says "butter")
(person tries it) "You're right! It IS butter!"
(little margarine tub says "Parkay!")

Schoolhouse Rock

Anyone remember the little things they used to show on ABC between the cartoons on Saturday mornings in the 70's?...

I'm just a bill,
yes, I'm only a bill,
and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill,
Well, it's a long, long journey
to the Capitol City,
It's a long, long wait
while I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday,
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I'm still just a bill...

Tom

Woops, sorry Ishbel, I forgot your Scottish not English.

 

[jkath]

Lolly Lolly Lolly get your adverbs here.......

A noun is a person, place or thing!
-------------------

Remember Interjections?

So when you're happy (Hurray!)
or sad (Boo!)
Or frightened (Eeeeeek!)
or mad (Rats!)
Or excited (Wow!)
or glad (Hey!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.

(Aw! You threw the wrong way!
Darn! You just lost the game!
Hurray! I'm for the other team! )

 

[texasgirl]

OH jkath,
THANK YOU!!! I loved those shows!!!!
I just went back in time hehe )

 

[crewsk]

I don't remember tha name of the shampoo but I do remember "I'm gonna wash that gray right outta my hair."


Does anyone remember the Slinky jingle?

 

[jkath]

Barbara posted the slinky on the first page

I think the washing song was for Nice 'n Easy

 

[jkath]

Freshen your breath with freshen up.....gum!


Here's one for Enjolie (sp?) the drugstore perfume:

I can bring home the bacon
Fry it up in a pan
and never never never let you
forget you're a man
cause I'm a woman....Enjolie

 

[crewsk]

Thanks jkath, I must have missed it.

 

[wasabi]

"Two, two mints in one", what product is that?"Duh, Linda")I think it's "drum roll" Double Mint Gum.

 

[jkath]

It's Certs, silly!

 

[Barbara L]

It's Certs, silly!

With Retsin! lol I am amazed at how gullible people are. A product will come out saying, "Now contains 'blah blah blah,'" and suddenly everyone has to have it! I'm sure that if you ask them what that "miracle" ingredient is, they wouldn't have a clue. They just know they have to have it because some advertiser said that their product has it and no one else's does.
