After these messages, we’ll be riiight back
What is that from? Something from my childhood…Saturday morning cartoons?…Nickelodeon? Anyway…
I’ve discovered this website: whatsthatcalled.com where you can look up songs from tv ads, see what their called and who the artist is. My whole life it has frustrated me that I like a song on a commercial and can’t figure out who/what it is. And recently there have been three songs that have caught my attention, so finally I have a place to search!
The commercial for TIAA-CREF–it’s a song from West Side Story, adapted.
The ad for VW where the couple takes that photo for the old lady.
The Toyota commercial with the tire rolling around by itself. That songs in my head right now.
Know which ones I’m talking about? Anybody else have any favorites they want to share?
(By the way, whenever I switch over to rich text mode, nothing works. Whatever I type doesn’t show up when I actually post…I discovered this by first previewing my entry. So I have to do everything in plain text which means I don’t have the link icon or the lj-cut and lj-user icons. Does that happen to anyone else? Any idea how to fix it?)

After these messages, we’ll be riiiight back! Holy God. I remember that well. It was from Saturday morning cartoons on regular tv because we didn’t have cable, so it definitely was not that. And there was usually a rancher cowboy guy, and he’d lasso something and whistle at the end. It rocked.

The local ABC channel had an interlude like that. I have no idea why I remember that.
I haven’t got the foggiest clue with regards to the commercials though as I watch about an hour of TV per week these days.

There was a Little Debbies commercial song that I loved, but that was from seriously ten years ago. I wonder if that’s on there… I’m going to go check.

First of all the only song in a commercial that I can think of at this moment is…”I’m a Ford Truck Man….That’s all I drive.” And, I already know who sings that. (Sorry to get that in your head).
Now…explain rich text to me. Didn’t you have to download a program just to post entries? I had to download some ijournal crap, and there is no rich text function as far as I can tell. And what exactly does that do?
