I remember everyone of these commercials. I got the "Swinger Camera" for my 14th birthday, and I still have the pictures I took with it. Thanks for the memories.
I remember every commercial, every product and every jingle in this compilation. Even though we saw them too many times, the commercials of those days were fun and entertaining. Budweiser and Coca-Cola will always be my favorites. Thanks for reminding me Fred.
Fred...thanks for the memories! My parents said that I would come flying into the Living room as a toddler, when I would hear the jingles start, then go run back to play when the show came back on...LOL
I was a little surprised to see men included in the ILGWU (where LG stood for "ladies garment")… I guess some men CAN sew, after all! (& had a hand in making "ladies garments", LOL)
Not-so-smart aleck My mom worked in a sweater factory and it was only women with the managers being men. My dad worked in an embroidery factory and it was all men. Life was so different then.
There's a few I don't remember, Fred. And a few I had forgotten. But most of them are still rattling around in my thinking meat! You know how sometimes you get a tune stuck in your head? Now I've got about 50 of them, and the Meow Mix jingle is repeating every other tune! Bourbon please.
Outstanding Fred. Commercials like that are also memory triggers. You remember where you were and what you were doing at that time when that commercial is on. Super nostalgic, super enjoyable. ❤❤❤❤❤👍🏿
Those Jingles were the most memorable, for me. I bought, ate and drank and used everyone of those products! ( Yes, even Virginia Slims. I was very desperate) Thank you for bringing them all back, Fredflix! Your king of the hill!
Love, love, love the Pepsi, Coke, Alka Seltzer, Budweiser, and Mr. Clean commercials...my favorites. My Mom cleaned EVERYTHING with Mr. Clean. I can still smell it, I swear. Another fantastic one, Fred. Xx
In the Polaroid Swinger ad, you get 2 for 1 on celebrities: Ali McGraw is the spokesmodel with the camera, and the jingle is sung by its composer, Barry Manilow.
11:35 - As I remember, this Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdales pulling the wagon was included in the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" when Richard Dreyfuss gradually became obsessed with making models of the mountain where the aliens were going to land. As he was working on his biggest model, which took up the entire living room of his home, this commercial was on the TV that was in the room with him.
Fred; another great collection. I seem to remember 7UP had tons of jingles as the stuff never sold. They changed the ad phrase so many times, Wet and Wild, You like it, It likes you. But no one remembers this stuff but me.
The greatest Maxwell House jingle!!! Ingenious "blending" of percolation and catchy jingle. Maxwell House should be eternally grateful to advertising crew for this since those of us from that generation still remember it 50 odd years after!
I was around 7 years old & I so loved (get this) the “Budweiser Clydesdales”. I recall waiting, with bated breath, to see ‘em in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! I’d sing the accompanying jingle while playing goalie & waiting for the play to return to our zone. I played youth ice hockey (like I said, I was about 7 yrs.)! Aahh… good times! Now I worry ‘bout my health insurance, how to fit exercise into my schedule, when the market deliveries are due… such dreary nonsense. Bleh! But the “Budweiser Clydesdales”? Brings back those happy, hopeful, innocent feelings. Thanks for the post! 👍
What a great video to see this morning ! All these years; still remember that crush on Edie Adams, thought she was just it, when I was a kid.. That was a memorable clip of the McDonalds commercial, with Bob Ridgely ''there's nothing so clean as my burger machine'' ! Wow, looking back so many of them are like clips from mini movies. Good stuff, boss, good stuff. You're a godsend, Fred.
The first commercial had Ray Fulmer of Hazel in it, the Lowenbrau ad had Robert Pine from Chips, and the McDonalds ad had John Amos for those of us TV trivia fans
Thanks so much for the sing, whistle, hum and what they now call beat boxing - along!!! 13:54 - One of my most favorite commercial & jingle version of a theme ever!! It was the first McD's song I remember and I believe kicked off the "You deserve a break today" branding. Marlboro's commercials were always so cinematic back then. Thanks for the rewind Fred!!!
OK, so cute little tidbit. I work for a printing company and one of my customers is Wrigley. I have toured their manufacturing facility in Flowery Branch GA. There are twin ladies that have worked there for years and years. They call them the Doublemint Twins. I think that is adorable.
Fantastic vid, Fred!! I promise..I remember every video shown! Ive gotten nostalgic now and Im gonna let Hertz put me in the drivers seat..go to Safeway and buy some Space Food Sticks, Funny Face Goofy Grape, Shake Open and Pour by Bordens, Great Shakes and (Dirt cant hide) from intensified Tide! Great video, my friend! PS..STILL have my Poloroid Swinger..bought it with my Moms Green Stamps!! ( true story!)
Im gonna let Enterprise rent a car for me…go to Safeway and buy some Pepsi for those who think young, Coke, Doublemint, Dr. Pepper, and Alka-Seltzer! Great video, my friend! PS… I haven’t drunk Budweiser…since I was born!! ( true story!)
That guy in the Colt 45 malt liquor ad wouldn't care if an alien invasion, zombie apocalypse & WW3 all happened at once. Thanks for the ads, FredFlix. 📺
Great assortment as usual, Fred! The Noxema "Take it off" girl was Gunilla Hutton., the second Billie Jo Bradley on Petticoat Junction. Very risque for a country girl.
@@FredFlix You're right, Fred. That was a brain fart on my part. The Noxema girl was Gunilla Knutsson; a different gorgeous Swedish actress named Cunilla!
Hey its the swinger Polaroid swinger-great great great jingle. Only $19.95. Well in today's 2019 money that's about a whopping $135! Possibly worth it as it was I think the first self-developing photo camera!
@Kevin Counihan: Thanks for the info. Checked it out on wiki. You're right. Who would have guessed they had in the late 40s. You must have good 10 or 15 years on me.
@Kevin Counihan: I was mistaken I think because I just bothered to look at your photo if that is accurately you. If it is then believe me I'm decades older than you. You must then be a photographer and an expert in cameras to have known about the Polariod 1947!
@Kevin Counihan: Hell you really can't judge from any photograph especially a very small one. You look like a thirty year old. From your earlier post I though you knew about the 1947 Polaroid because you might have been born in the 1930s. Boy was I fooled!
13:53 OMG, I definitely remember that McDonalds jingle, and an ad at least resembling this one, with a bunch of guys marching out of the restaurant with those hats on, swinging their arms, etc. I think we "deserve a break" though, from all the artery-clogging grease, fat and/or cholesterol, LOL
It's slinky, it's slinky the favorite of girls and boys-wonderful commercial jingle and one of the greatest gadgets or whatever you want to call it ever made.
Excellent!!! There is one jingle that is stuck in my head, as a kid advertising the Chevy Camaro from late '67 to '68, sung I think by the Association, to the tune of the Wendy song. I can not find it anywhere, but I remember it so vividly, with it's clever and catchy tune! Thanks for the memories, I remembered virtually all of them!!
If it's the version I think you mean, it may be by The Turtles, not The Association. If you want it it's on their album "All the Singles." Shouldn't be hard to find that album on CD.
Well done - that was great! Why did they ever get away from putting jingles in commercials? The ones from my childhood I can still recall perfectly even after 30 or 40 years.
Looking at these commercials again-some I haven't seen since the first time 50+ yrs ago proves to me just how powerful images are. If you ever want to see a great film on this with a paranoid bent see The Parallax View
Thank you, Fred! Back when commercials were good, had jingles, and were FUN! (Today's commercials mostly SUCK) This is also a great sing-along for all of us baby boomers! :-)
Great job,as usual Fred! It's scary, I knew all the words. What's scarier is I still have my Slinky! Jan and Dean also sang the Coca Cola jingle. But I think it was a radio ad
As a little boy I thought the Ajax white Knight was the coolest commercial. And not much of a fan of cigarettes but the Marlboro commercial was so relaxing. Great vid Fred.
Just gives you that warm, nostalgic feeling! ( that could almost be a jingle lol). Special shout out to the Pepsi ad as my late cousin worked for them in NYC.
Love, love, love the Winston, ILGWU, Dr. Pepper, Noxzema, Doublemint, and State Farm commercials. On my Apple Maps I imagine the building I’m in (49 Heather Crescent) as a State Farm office. I can still imagine it, I swear. Another fantastic one, Fred. Xx
📺 Being a 70's kid, I would remember the ones from the '70s. 10:26 One shocking thing I've heard about this Meow Mix commercial: That cat was choking! But, rest assured, he was all right. 11:31 This Budwiser commercial must've been the one that appeared on Close Encounters of the Third Kind. On a TV, of course. 📺
thank u i remember most or all of them that famous white screen cig tag that on here would be the last tv cig spot nixon said no more cig brands first and only nbc the tonight show midnight. but most of these are pure classic and beloved by all.
Watching these classic commercials is truly a breath of fresh air. Even though I watch nothing but the classic tv shows on METV & COZI TV the only commercials they show are defense attorneys, seeing if you qualify for Medicare, Medicaid or Life Insurance. I get so depressed seeing those same old lousy current ads to where I wish that I could replace the current ones with all of these classics, to make my classic tv watching nothing but fun & enjoyment.
"Here comes the king, Here comes the A -Number-One"... When you say Bud, you've said it all!" Such a fantastic piece of creative promotion-- no wonder this commercial was chosen by Spielberg for inclusion into "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"... He knew how memorable this jingle was to that (my) generation. This should be in the advertising industries' hall of fame( as the Mcdonalds' ad should be also)
00:01 and 11:31 this is the singing voice of the great Valerie Simpson on the Budweiser jingle. She was a terrific singer and songwriter... she teamed up with her husband Nick Ashford to form the famous musical duo Ashford & Simpson.
Years ago I found a 16mm reel with many commercials on it. I thought that they would have been on 35mm, but after I thought about it, 16mm was probably more than enough for the low resolution of TV back then.
What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog? It's great for a snack, it fits on your back, it's LOG LOG LOG! It's LOG, It's LOG, It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's LOG, It's LOG, It's better than bad, It's Good. Love it!! :D
Sounds like The Limeliters doing that "Things Go Better with Coke" jingle. Years later, that furniture mover guy in that ad had a recurring role on Murder She Wrote as one of Angela's old schoolmates. The very next ad features the British pop group The Fortunes. The Pepsi "For Those Who Think Young" jingle was by Joanie Sommers.
I believe the Coke jingle was written by Jake Holmes who was a folk musician in the 60's that wrote and performed Dazed and Confused...a huge success for Led Zep of course.
"IRONICALLY" I personally lost two decent jobs BECAUSE of "unions". Unions USED to be about helping WORKERS, but now are just another "PAC". I paid THOUSANDS in union dues for NOTHING. Today, Unions are morally WORSE than corporations. Corporations are SUPPOSED to make a profit, EVERYONE know that. Unions are SUPPOSED to "help" labor, but are just a money grabbing political racket whose contributions are to a certain political party whose VERY MISSION is to kill the industries that their "members" (marks) belong to. Collecting money to KILL YOUR JOB. I'd LOVE to have had the dough that I paid in union dues to have been in just a STUPID index fund, I might not HAVE to work until I'm 90 had I been able to do so. 😡
old school colt 45 commercial is hilarious colt 45 as upscale beer is too funny . I really that Pepsi jingles you got alot to give one is really cool .Nozema Muriel cigars is a classic ad . the hilltop coke jingle in my opinion is best jingle of all time
Fred, and now "VSM"???? I'll be in "retro mode" all damn night.... At least allow me the pleasure of getting even!: czcams.com/video/V3kE0rvAJhM/video.html (they're almost 80 now!)
Splendid compilation! You should do some of the catch phrases from days gone by. Of course "Where's the beef?" "Trix are for kids." "Hey Mikey. He likes it." I'm sure you can think of a lot more.
2:38 Joanie Sommers singing the Pepsi jingle . Known as the Pepsi girl in the 60's . She sang the jingle ( which was a take on the song " Making Whoopie"). Later she sang the Pepsi " Come Alive" jingle when that campaign started in 1965 and continued through '67. She returned in the early 80's singing the diet Pepsi jingle( diet Pepsi...one small calorie..now you see it ... now you don't).
Lots to say about these commercials. You picked great nostalgia. Now I remember why they banned the ones pushing the romanticizing of cigarettes, that would eventually take and destroy soooo many lives. I know it was time consuming to pick the right ones. Thank you, Fred.
The last I saw of their label, was around 2004, the last five pairs of "Farah Slacks" that I found, and they were n.o.s. at an Army Navy store in Upstate NY. Farah wasn't a union company in the '80s, I wonder what changed?? Bollman Hats, less than 2mi from where I sit, has avoided unionization by paying close to 'union scale'. There are three high-end footwear makers in PA; Kepner-Scott, Double-H, Perry Ercolino. Woolrich still makes clothing near Williamsport. I remember taking the second of two new pairs of USAF-issued "jump" boots to an elderly shoemaker in my home town, to do a "all-day comfort fitting and alteration". $28.00 damn well spent!, in 1982; he'd have you stand, holding 5lb weights in each hand, then measure about fifty parameters. When he announced his upcoming retirement, I sent two more pairs for 'rework'. (and my "old man" told him to add 'five pounds of lard onto that measurement'; I was in the Azores, "NATO", and the food was good!) We've lost so much as a nation; sold our souls for garbage, trinkets, and an unlivable wage for many..... www.bollmanhats.com/ (never make it into Bollman's, always wind up here: facebook.com/BoehringersDriveIn/
Something about this video made me keep thinking about Madmen and Don Draper. Watched it twice and relived my childhood. Fantastic collection!
Thanks, Wesley.
Wesley You are not the only one. :)
Wonder if the "Mad Men" had a hand in making the funny Benson & Hedges cigarette ad. 🚬
The great memories ....these mean more to me than some TV programmes..
OMG, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but the lyrics to these songs come back immediately!
thanx Fred for bringing back more memories-I'm 62 and can remember most of these.
You're welcome, star trek.
@star trek: 57 here, I remember most as well...fun, or what?
I'm 62. Same story!
it sure is! :)
56 here rem them too
Ingenious the surfer delivering the colt 45!

My pleasure, Steve.
Fred...thanks for the memories! My parents said that I would come flying into the Living room as a toddler, when I would hear the jingles start, then go run back to play when the show came back on...LOL
I can believe it, Bonnie.
Bonnie Same here. Amazing. :)
Bonnie and Fred when I was a baby I would sleep through.the shows, wake up for the commercials and immediately go back to sleep.
My mother worked in a factory and she was always singing the union label song. Brought back memories.
I was a little surprised to see men included in the ILGWU (where LG stood for "ladies garment")… I guess some men CAN sew, after all! (& had a hand in making "ladies garments", LOL)
Not-so-smart aleck My mom worked in a sweater factory and it was only women with the managers being men. My dad worked in an embroidery factory and it was all men. Life was so different then.

Yeah, the Meow Mix jingle is clearly satanic in origin. Cast it out! The power of the Teaberry Shuffle compels thee!
@@brettmiddleton7949 Ha! Well said! And the Teaberry Shuffle is another I had forgotten! I wonder if they still make the gum.
Outstanding Fred. Commercials like that are also memory triggers. You remember where you were and what you were doing at that time when that commercial is on. Super nostalgic, super enjoyable. ❤❤❤❤❤👍🏿
I appreciate that, 5arge.
5argeTech/\: Nice to see you here again fellow I Love Lucy-Rick Nineg follower. Read my posts here.
Everything was so much better back then! This world stinks now, Period!!!!!
I recall all those ads from my childhood and teen years. I have never smoked, but liked the cigarette jingles. Ads were totally better then.
Suddenly in my parent's living room ! Thanks for this, Fred. As I get older these kind of things lighten my heart and make me smile.
Those Jingles were the most memorable, for me. I bought, ate and drank and used everyone of those products! ( Yes, even Virginia Slims. I was very desperate) Thank you for bringing them all back, Fredflix! Your king of the hill!
I appreciate that, James.
Love, love, love the Pepsi, Coke, Alka Seltzer, Budweiser, and Mr. Clean commercials...my favorites. My Mom cleaned EVERYTHING with Mr. Clean. I can still smell it, I swear. Another fantastic one, Fred. Xx
You're welcome, Lori.
I live in “the valley of the jolly...ho ho ho ho....Green Giant” and thought Green Giant was only local as a child.
Thanks for the good memories, Fred
You're welcome, Suzy.
In the Polaroid Swinger ad, you get 2 for 1 on celebrities: Ali McGraw is the spokesmodel with the camera, and the jingle is sung by its composer, Barry Manilow.
11:35 - As I remember, this Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdales pulling the wagon was included in the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" when Richard Dreyfuss gradually became obsessed with making models of the mountain where the aliens were going to land. As he was working on his biggest model, which took up the entire living room of his home, this commercial was on the TV that was in the room with him.
Fred; another great collection. I seem to remember 7UP had tons of jingles as the stuff never sold. They changed the ad phrase so many times, Wet and Wild, You like it, It likes you. But no one remembers this stuff but me.
I could certainly include them in a sequel, alg.
13:20 - After seeing this commercial for the Polaroid Swinger many times on TV, I was extremely happy to be given one for Christmas 1966.
The greatest Maxwell House jingle!!!
Ingenious "blending" of percolation and catchy jingle.
Maxwell House should be eternally grateful to advertising crew for this since those of us from that generation still remember it 50 odd years after!
I was around 7 years old & I so loved (get this) the “Budweiser Clydesdales”. I recall waiting, with bated breath, to see ‘em in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
I’d sing the accompanying jingle while playing goalie & waiting for the play to return to our zone. I played youth ice hockey (like I said, I was about 7 yrs.)!
Aahh… good times!
Now I worry ‘bout my health insurance, how to fit exercise into my schedule, when the market deliveries are due… such dreary nonsense. Bleh!
But the “Budweiser Clydesdales”? Brings back those happy, hopeful, innocent feelings. Thanks for the post! 👍
What a great video to see this morning ! All these years; still remember that crush on Edie Adams, thought she was just it, when I was a kid.. That was a memorable clip of the McDonalds commercial, with Bob Ridgely ''there's nothing so clean as my burger machine'' ! Wow, looking back so many of them are like clips from mini movies. Good stuff, boss, good stuff. You're a godsend, Fred.
Glad you enjoyed it, stendec.
So many memories of better times 🤗
James Naughton in the Dr.Pepper commercial and Robert Pine from CHIPS in the Lowenbrau commercial . Thanks for the memories, FredFlix
Robert Pine, that's the guy I thought was Jack Nicholson in that ad.
You're welcome, wny.
The guy who sang that legendary Lowenbrau jingle was Arthur Prysock. His brother was jazz and R&B saxophonist Red Prysock.
The first commercial had Ray Fulmer of Hazel in it, the Lowenbrau ad had Robert Pine from Chips, and the McDonalds ad had John Amos for those of us TV trivia fans

"Rice-A-Roni, The San Francisco treat!" - Is made in Chicago, LOL!
It was real good singing along with those shingles. Brought back great memories

I don't think that was Gunilla, Michael. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
@@FredFlix You're right, Fred. That was a brain fart on my part. The Noxema girl was Gunilla Knutsson; a different gorgeous Swedish actress named Cunilla!
That was great. I am a jingle junkie and remember so many of them. Thank you for for posting this.
Me too! I have more 60's and 70's jingles (radio and TV) floating around in my head than some of the actual programming!
Another great video! Thanks for taking me back to the first 10-15 years of my life.

Nothin' says lovin' like a bun in her oven and your screwin put you in a mess.
Yep, That's up there with: "Winston tastes bad, like the one I just had, No flavor, no taste, just a...Fifty cent waste.😜
Sounds like The Limeliters doing that "Things Go Better with Coke" jingle. Years later, that furniture mover guy in that ad had a recurring role on Murder She Wrote as one of Angela's old schoolmates. The very next ad features the British pop group The Fortunes. The Pepsi "For Those Who Think Young" jingle was by Joanie Sommers.
I believe the Coke jingle was written by Jake Holmes who was a folk musician in the 60's that wrote and performed Dazed and Confused...a huge success for Led Zep of course.
bang zoom And performed by The Fortunes.
Ohhh wow!!! Love them all, remember them all, sang to them all. Too much for words. When you say FredFlix you've said it all. :)
Very good, merce!
What a great collection of jingles. I remember almost all of them. (Don't figure out my age. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL).
I LOVE vintage commercials! Thank you so much for sharing these! :D
You're welcome, Mary.
this makes me happy even though i was born in 2004 i just am obsessed with this music and time period 👯✨
And just think of it, David Naughton didn't turn into a werewolf lol
"Look for the union label ...", sounds better than "Made in Bufuland".
"IRONICALLY" I personally lost two decent jobs BECAUSE of "unions". Unions USED to be about helping WORKERS, but now are just another "PAC". I paid THOUSANDS in union dues for NOTHING. Today, Unions are morally WORSE than corporations. Corporations are SUPPOSED to make a profit, EVERYONE know that. Unions are SUPPOSED to "help" labor, but are just a money grabbing political racket whose contributions are to a certain political party whose VERY MISSION is to kill the industries that their "members" (marks) belong to. Collecting money to KILL YOUR JOB. I'd LOVE to have had the dough that I paid in union dues to have been in just a STUPID index fund, I might not HAVE to work until I'm 90 had I been able to do so. 😡
The singers in the Coke commercial at 2:10 was a band called the Fortunes, who scored a Top 10 Billboard hit in 1965 with "You've Got Your Troubles."
I thought so.
Thank you! Quite enjoyable to travel down memory lane. I could hum along with all of the jingles!
You're welcome, psblueskies.
Excellent! Brought me back. I actually recognized most of them. Loved the Meow, Meow!
Thanks, Earl.
Was waiting for "When you're out of Schlitz,You're Out of Beer!"
or "Miller - the beer that made Milwaukee famous!"
"Schaefer - the one beer to have - when you're having more than one"
@@lesnyk255 Yeah Those too!
12:51 I have a small Slinky on my desk at work. I bought it at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts a few years ago.
I sung every song...LOL. Thanks for the memories!!!!!!
You're welcome, Connie.
old school colt 45 commercial is hilarious colt 45 as upscale beer is too funny . I really that Pepsi jingles you got alot to give one is really cool .Nozema Muriel cigars is a classic ad . the hilltop coke jingle in my opinion is best jingle of all time
Time to cue up my Barry Manilow "V.S.M. (A Very Strange Medley)" mp3. ;)
Fred, and now "VSM"???? I'll be in "retro mode" all damn night.... At least allow me the pleasure of getting even!: czcams.com/video/V3kE0rvAJhM/video.html (they're almost 80 now!)
Majority of these commercial jingles were actually better than top 40 music today
I sang along with all but 2 of them. Thanks Fred!
You're welcome, Teresa.
Thank you Fred!! This was my childhood!!!
Thank you FredFlix for bringing back memories. I love it!✌🇺🇸❤
Splendid compilation! You should do some of the catch phrases from days gone by. Of course "Where's the beef?" "Trix are for kids." "Hey Mikey. He likes it." I'm sure you can think of a lot more.
I could, Michael. But jingles are so much more fun.
@@FredFlix That's true, but whatever you do, you do it well. Have a good Sunday, Fred.
2:38 Joanie Sommers singing the Pepsi jingle . Known as the Pepsi girl in the 60's . She sang the jingle ( which was a take on the song " Making Whoopie"). Later she sang the Pepsi " Come Alive" jingle when that campaign started in 1965 and continued through '67. She returned in the early 80's singing the diet Pepsi jingle( diet Pepsi...one small calorie..now you see it ... now you don't).
Lots to say about these commercials. You picked great nostalgia. Now I remember why they banned the ones pushing the romanticizing of cigarettes, that would eventually take and destroy soooo many lives. I know it was time consuming to pick the right ones. Thank you, Fred.
You're welcome, Larry. The hard part was the research. Most Googled lists were, lacking. Mostly modern stuff. I had to dig deep.
aaawwwwww....the days of cig. Commercials......fun times....lol. Great picks....I loved it....thanks and have a great weekend
You too, Liz.
I would spend double the cost, just to see that I.L.G.W.U. Label again...
Are they completely gone?
The last I saw of their label, was around 2004, the last five pairs of "Farah Slacks" that I found, and they were n.o.s. at an Army Navy store in Upstate NY. Farah wasn't a union company in the '80s, I wonder what changed?? Bollman Hats, less than 2mi from where I sit, has avoided unionization by paying close to 'union scale'. There are three high-end footwear makers in PA; Kepner-Scott, Double-H, Perry Ercolino. Woolrich still makes clothing near Williamsport.
I remember taking the second of two new pairs of USAF-issued "jump" boots to an elderly shoemaker in my home town, to do a "all-day comfort fitting and alteration". $28.00 damn well spent!, in 1982; he'd have you stand, holding 5lb weights in each hand, then measure about fifty parameters. When he announced his upcoming retirement, I sent two more pairs for 'rework'. (and my "old man" told him to add 'five pounds of lard onto that measurement'; I was in the Azores, "NATO", and the food was good!)
We've lost so much as a nation; sold our souls for garbage, trinkets, and an unlivable wage for many.....

Yeah that's what I need in my head one of those jingles.
10:27 the singer on the Meow Mix commercial is the legendary Linda November.
Man commercials were so much better then , had the coolest jingles
Hey, you know I love these vids and more than likely I'll do a binge watching tomorrow.
who nowadays can write a great catchy melody? NOBODY.
Hollywood has run out tunes.
Nice job Fast Freddy. Lots of grins there.
Thanks, Bill.
That's my goal, Bill.
@@FredFlix Well, you're pretty damn good at it. I'll be 66 next week so I'm with you.
Ok, these are freak'n awesome 😎🤘! I want that camera😉😄😄
