Old advertising jingles

[pmccarthy]

Palmolive soap used to come in green and pink varieties. They introduced Gold, which was supposed to reduce BO, with the jingle 

 

don’t wait to be told, you need Palmolive Gold.

 

we children added

 

dont wait til you stink, you need Palmolive Pink

 

But if you just want to get clean, use Palmolive Green.

 

i can think of some other jingles that we parodied, can you?

Don't know if it was common, but I remember my elder brother singing

 

"While shepherds washed their socks by night

 

all seated 'round the tub

 

A bar of Sunlight Soap came down

 

and they began to scrub..."

 

 

[nomadpete]

"I must go down to the sea again,

 

To wash my dirty socks.

 

And all I ask is a bar of soap......."

 

Oh, I think that might have been a Goon Show jingle. Sorry!

The Pepsodent ad!

 

"You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!"

 

Of course, that turned into a dozen dirty schoolyard jingles, that typically corrupted the ad to, "You'll wonder where your balls went, when you brush your dick with Pepsodent!"

 

The Doo-Wop song, "The Book of Love", by the Monotones, was apparently inspired by the Pepsodent ad!

As fans of Sea Hunt we used to sing

 

away in a manger no crib for a bed

 

the little Lloyd Bridges lay down his sweet head

 

i forget the rest

What's the gentlest toilet tissue,

 

In the bathroom you can issue?

 

 

[old man emu]

New, new, new New Sorbent!

 

 

[David2ayo]

"New, New, New Newspaper!

 

 

[nomadpete]

Although it's irritatin'

 

You can read it while you're waitin'

 

 

[nomadpete]

What do you do when the Dawn breaks?

 

Wipe your hand and tear off another square.

 

 

[pmccarthy]

Don't drink Drive

 

Its a laundry detergent.

 

 

[old man emu]

Brusha, brusha, brusha

 

With the new Ipana.

 

 

[Marty_d]

Brusha, brusha, brusha

 

With the new Ipana.

 

I remember that one - it was in the movie Grease.

I remember that one - it was in the movie Grease.

 

 

 

 

I wonder why we say "iparner" when it's spelled "i-pan-a"

 

 

[pmccarthy]

Coz we are sophisticated. 

 

 

[old man emu]

Oh! It's "i-pah-nah".

 

"Don't wait to be told,

 

'You need Palmolive Gold'."

 

When was the last time you heard a caller say that a Rugby League player gave another a "Don't argue"?

 

His face has a smile like the entrance to Luna Park.

Fly TAA the friendly way and stay in a Travelodge or Carravilla. from Bob Dyer pick a Box,

My kids were singing the old DC comics version of Jingle Bells the other day...

 

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

 

Robin flew away

 

Wonder Woman lost her bosom

 

Flying TAA... hey!

 

Only, my 9 year old sings "Flying ATA" - he has no idea what TAA was.
