I heard this song on WXPN yesterday and it made me laugh because the typewriter is certainly a thing of the past.
Once again, Nonewhere was a slacker so the privilege of posting a song was dumped on handed to me.
This is all I got. Do whatever you want with it.
BTW – WXPN may be one of the best radio stations in the nation. Do visit their website to learn more about ‘XPN‘.
TheZoo 
that’s funny Cats…
YEAH!!!!!!
KFJC Foothill College used to do a “Louie Louie” marathon.
One of the selections was a version of Louie Louie done on the typewriter.
KFJC! Two of my friends were student DJ’s! (in the day)
Ya gotta have a dose of Dave
yes, that was good chicken….
Festival of earworms
Can’t have a KTel commercial without:
The Super Bad Party Ring!
I think this was a sponsor of Soul Train back in the early 70s, Very early on when we first got cable, WTCG was the original call sign of what became WTBS and launched Ted Turner as a very wealthy man. It wasn’t even called a Superstation yet.
8 track tape… that’s extinct, isn’t it?
I can remember seeing that performed on some really old variety show, like Ed Sullivan or the Garry Moore Show, or maybe Red Skelton, when I was a kid.
Did you say gary moore?
Garry Moore was probably before your time in the states Turtle!
Here he gives travel tips for going to England!
I can understand why women wanted to be liberated.
How did I ever live without one of these?
You are tripping down memory lane this evening, vinyl!
Hey good lookin’, we’ll be back to pick you up later.
Man, this just seems like yesterday.
Forerunner of Karaoke?/
My dating life skyrocketed after the introduction of this little baby.
I had one of those.
my favorite rendition of Hey Joe!….
I have to agree with you.
Never mind the fact that I can store sixteen days worth of music on an ipod
This thing belongs in my den.
We would need many of these to store and sort all our albums.
I have an old Supremes vinyl. Something like “Greatest Hits of”. Plus a lot of old blues and bluegrass albums. I have to get them on digital before too long.
I remember that commercial, and I had one of those record selectors.
When I wear my mood ring I also wear Hai Karate.
It’s a mixed blessing.
Cats, I’ve been watching your Great Dane video on and off for a couple days. That girl’s tummy is chock full o’ puppies!
Is that Olive, the light grey with spots? Yes, she does look big!
I think that is Olive. She is panting a lot. I wonder if that means she is in labor.
I think it is. She looks like the same dog as yesterday. I think she’s definitely in labor. Her giant tummy seems to be even more prominent, and she keeps tearing up her bed.
A little while ago, one of the people put up a sign, asking that Kenyon College email them. Not sure what that means.
This advert is considered so good…. it is back on British TV, 20 years later…. both these actors were in some of the best British TV ever made.
Yummy mustard. It’s what I prefer on my hamburgers.
My mom smoked Luckies for a number of years before switching to Salems, because that way my folks only had to buy one brand. If they had been non-smokers, I’d be retired now, except they might still be alive.
my first experience smoking was puffing on a Lucky…
My first experience smoking was with Rothmans International King Size—unknown in the US, BUT my first experience with Luck Strike ciggies was in 1977, where we had them for our School Play performance of Death of A Salesman ( I played ‘Hap’).
On opening night I smoked a couple to get used to them before I went on stage, but I got so nervous I finished the whole damn pack in about an hour, Luckily I had some Benson and Hedges Special Filter as well, so I cut the filters off and put them in the original LS pack.
…Rothmans International King Size—unknown in the US…
Except for us F1 fans. Hey, I even know about John Player Specials, Gauloises, Mild Sevens, and I don’t even smoke! Rothmans was sponsor of the World Endurance Championship Porsche 956s in the 80s.
Ah! Of course!
Rothmans tended to sponsor ‘Le Mans-type’ racing, JPS famously sponsored Lotus F1 during the 70’s –that black and gold livery was wicked!
Us northeast hippies knew about Rothmans, too.
Awesome!
First of all; “It’s Toasted!,—like its a delicious cereal!
Second of all; “Tobacco-Men”? — Like G-Men? or ‘Leg-Men’ or ‘Breast-Men’ or ‘Ass–Men’?… I’m thinking the latter two because…
Third of all; “So round,! So firm!”
Lucky Strike was issued to the US military in WWII hence all the marching formations and ridiculous “code”.
My first smoking experience was with some of dankest thai stick ever to hit these shores.
Never did like cigarettes.
Smoking thai stick is not ‘smoking’. Cannabinoids don’t cause cancer like tobacco cigarettes. 🙂
These were and still are nails in a coffin.
‘…up to 20% more gas mileage…’
Went from 10 to 12 mpg!
yep…..at 19 cents a gallon you need to watch your pennies..
Those guys were ‘Genlteman’s Gentlemen’ also known as valets, apparently on their day off.
That was so very funny.
A new cd from my man Charlie, and Ben Harper…rock the blues…
Funny looking machine shop. I didn’t see a single mill or lathe in the place…
“Truth in Advertising”?
That was great.
I like silly!

Here’s some rare janis
This is a perfect night for this. I’ve been saving it .
Here y’go Zooey!
The Eleventh Doctor boinks Rose Tyler!
Now that is just wierd…..
Why? He can time travel, can’t he? 😀
Great industrial designer + Christmas + A perky Babe + Lung Cancer = USA! USA!
I wonder who the ‘Lucky’ producer was who got blown so she could get that commercial?
Really? You wonder that? Why wouldn’t…
Oh wait…duh! You just being funny! 😀 DOH!
That was a back-handed way of saying I didn’t think her acting skills were all that much considering the national exposure an ad like that was worth.
What the hell are you supposed to do you do with a carton of cigarettes when you’re not in jail?
staying with the ciggie theme…
Clever!
Here ya go TtT. Some mates you might know…
I did have a girlfriend from Chesterfield once….
Britain’s most notorious sexual predator introduces the Wurzels..
vinyl, don’t know when you left the Bay Area…do you recall Paul of the Diamond Center?
Oh gawd, I remember that guy.
Holy crap!
What a flashback!
How about Ed Barbara of Furniture USA?
I went to school with his kids.
They wouldn’t admit that he was their dad.
I remember him, too!
Hometown commercials are so hokey. 😀
Where did you go to school?
This one was further down the ‘silly’ rabbit hole… 🙂
Olive keeps tearing up her bed. 😀
Noel did that a lot too.
Then she just sits there, as if to say “Somebody please fix this mess.”
Are you discussing Dr. Who characters or have you found another
‘notmycat’?
She’s a Great Dane with about 100 puppies getting ready to be born. Cats posted the link yesterday, and since I’m not able to do much else, I’m watching.
http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/great-dane-service-puppies-indoor-puppy-room
“Notmycat” is staying where she is. I found out she belongs to my neighbors in #4, although you really wouldn’t know it. And my new place doesn’t allow pets at all.
That’s sad.
It really is. One of my other neighbors is going to move into my old apartment, and I’m going to ask him to let her in on cold or wet nights.
I’ve got a Gunsmoke on right now with this lady on it.
Another obsolete item like a typewriter.
And to think that at one time this was considered a great camera.
You folks are great. I was having a bit of fun and you have followed right along. Love you all.
Cats- You saved my sorry ass again. This is for you.
Anybody old enough to remember this?
We always wanted the Decoder Ring.. Mum never bought Ovaltine.
A (rarely) special treat would be Nestles.
Hair care time.
OK everybody, time to get back in shape.
Cream doing a commercial! For beer. I never knew.
Sell Out!
Weak too.
Growing up (in San Jose) – a Falstaff Brewery was just across the street from Hester Grammar School. Now a days you can’t have any establishment that sells alcohol anywhere within thousands of feet of a school.
Damn race track sounds like it’s in my backyard when the wind blows right.
Are you that close to the Speedway? The race is over now, so it has to be quieter.
Back to some music. This guy has a voice that sounds almost identical to Hank Williams.
Bardot at 43. I likee…
Continuing the ciggie theme with Bardot and music…
Okay, it’s a silly song (seems to fit the theme), but it’s really BB singing the English words. And this video is a silly spoof of the silly song. Perfect. 🙂
Oddly strange and/or strangely odd!
When Scottish brewery Tennants (no relation to the 10th Doctor) teamed up with Big Country another clasic beer ad was born
And perhaps the best Guinness advert ever….. although what the Illuminati have to do with it…?
I don’t understand…where’s the pig?
How about some extreme shepherding?
Okay, a seriouser song… heard this week on the radio and fell in love with the song and the band. Has a retro 80’s vibe to it. Even to have that certain 80’s angst that some songs had. Definitely reminds me of someone else (singer wise) but can’t put my finger on it.
Group: Metric (indie band from Canada)
Album: Synthetica
Song: Speed the Collapse
Interesting!
Apologies if this is on that roll of vids…
who cares play them ALL!
Heard this at my local Rite-Aid this afternoon. Started singing it loud, and got lots of “huh” looks. Screw um, I’ve always loved this song…
Love the drumming on this pop song. My quilty pleasure…
