I just posted "it's a Kodak moment" on another thread and it got me to wondering...

What was your favourite jingle / slogan /advert as a kid (or otherwise) that's no longer with us?

I remember trying to learn:

a)  The "Um Bongo" song;
b)  And this:



So, what's yours?
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Then there were the Cinzano ads with Leonard Rossiter, a finger of Fudge, the Guinness Toucan, the orange man in "you know you've been Tango'd", Henry Cooper's Brut 33 "splash it all over",  the Milky Bar kid, Gareth Hunt advertising coffee, "what eaz Cointreau?", Fanny Craddock advertising Fairy ... and this is why I can't remember where I left my keys.

Just a quick one, you can embed the YouTube videos again now.  You only need the code/letters/numbers in the YouTube url, so everything after the '=' sign.

So for this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWn9EmbFTRo

... you'd only need the 'FWn9EmbFTRo' from the end of the url.  Stick that bit inside the [youtube] brackets and you're good to go.

Oh yeah,  forgot Holistic.  Anyone remember the spoof someone (for the life of me I can't remember which comedian) once did?

I remember the line: "Thy great spawny eyed wazzoc!" in it  :-\
