but every time I hear hot summer' night, I remember....never mind. The thing is if you hear a tune, and associate it with a product you think of the product. Just another way of playing with our minds, that is what advertisers do.
The advertising jingo X-factor is what we need you know We need it 7 nights a week 3x a night during peak viewing. A big tombola full of products and a celevrity host picks out the products that need jingling up and hands them out to the participants. Contestants having a day to come up with ideas with a 30-45 second shot in front of camera to jingle it to the world.
I work for a supermarket, who's current advert uses the "take that - Shine" song. I used to love this song, though after hearing over 10 times aday just while at work, and then before and after work on the telly, i no longer like it.
I think its a shame that adverts no longer use jingles, and would rather use a song instead. I know celebs "sell" products, however, i wouldnt shop somewhere, just because a certain celeb appears in the advert, or buy a certain if they are seen drinking it in an advert etc etc.
I loved
"Beer at home means Davenports" with the dancing bottle.
Beer at home means Davenports!
That's the beer!
Lots of cheer!
The finest malt with hops and yeast,
Turns a snack into a feast.
Straight from breweries to your home,
Why collect?
We'll deliver!
Soon you'll know why folks all say:
"Beer at home means DAVENPORTS"!
And that fantastic calypso song about The Bull Ring Shopping Centre sung in a cod West Indian accent.
At the Bullring shopping centre
There's a smile on every face
From the moment that you enter
You'll know its a friendly place
There are shops glaore
And so much more
The famous indoor market
Come by bus or come by car
There's a place where you can park ...it
Its the place to shop with the family
One stop shopping...variety
With pubs and restaurants if you want a snack
Once you've been you'll want to come back
Whatever you want you'll find it at
The bull ring shopping centre
Right Im off to the Age Exchange reminiscence centre.
Bet you also liked:
Leave it, leave it to lee, leave it to lee longlands, longlands!
lol
I liked it but I didnt sing it to my kids like I did the other two.
The one I remember most from my childhood was for Oven Chips, at least I think it was and it was set to the tune of Que Sera Sera
"Will it be chips or jacket spuds?
Will it be salad or Frozen peas?
Will it be Mushrooms
(In The best West Indian accent ever) Fried Onion Rings
You'll have to wait and see...
We hope it's chips, it's chips..."
To this day whenever anyone has onion rings, I still smile and annoy as many people as possible with it...
I remember the Davenports ad. It always seemed to be on before Star Soccer on ATV on a Sunday afternoon.
oh, and...
"Nuts, whole hazelnuts (ooh)
Cadbury's take 'em and they cover them in chocolate!"
Just saw the new Heinz advert.... with all the footage from the old ads. The only bit missing was at the end. All together now:
"A million housewives every day,
Pick up a tin of beans and say,
Beanz Meanz Heinz!"
I wonder if they had to drop it for political correctness, or because they can't prove it's a million each day? ;-)
A million housewives everyday
pick up a tin of beans and say
Beanz Mean Fartz!
:twisted:
The worst ever was (I forget what it was advertising) a cut down (!!) version of the opening 18 bars of Zadok The Priest and just as the hundred massed throats of the choir opened to produce that first, heart-pumping chord, it - - - - - STOPPED!!!!!!!!
Whoever it was in the advertising agency that thought that was a good idea should have been sacked on the spot. If he'd been in my lounge he'd have been lynched!
They would have sold more whatevers with a jingle. :giggle:
They asked me how I knew
It was Esso Blue
I of course replied
With cheaper grades one finds
Smoke gets in your eyes
There was Shell Pink and Regents Green too. I useda have to walk 3 miles to the hardware shop to fetch a gallon for my dads greenhouse heater. Happy days you could leave your door open and buy ten No 6 with a half crown.
Wanders off to the Age Exchange reminiscence centre.
I was lying in bed thinking about this thread last night. (Dont ask me why it was this i was thinking of, i just couldnt sleep due to my cold).I was thinking about the "huggies pull up's" Im sure it went something along the lines of
Im a big kid look what i can do
I can wear big kids pants too
Mummy WOW im a big kid now
Not sure if those were the exact words but i can remember the tune really well!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
