What happens when the Cone-Meinke's can't sleep
 

Chris already ranted about faxes waking us up but, it didn't end there. I read the new huge Bloomingdale's catalog until Chris came back to bed. Once in bed, lights off, spooned comfortably we started talking about commercial Jingles.

The Head Shampoo commpercial jingle came first (which I had posted previously) but apparently is a LOT funnier when sung in bed at 3:30 am.

Then it was:
"We reall move our tails for you
to make your every dream come true
on Continental Airline
we reall move our tails for you

THen came the one liners:

"Only her hairdresser knows for sure"
"No Bugs M'Lady"
"I Can't Believe I ate the Whole Thing"
"Mamma Mia, that's a spicy pizza"

The "bad version of McDonalds jingle:

McDonald's is my kind of place
Shove a burger in your face
Stick a french fry up your nose
Just to see how far it goes........

"I am Stuck on Baind brand 'cause Band aid's stuck on me"

Then remember the smile on PSA Planes?

And, remember this product?
"Hey, good-looking! We'll be back
to pick you up later!"

And good ole' cigarette ads:
I'd Rather Fight than Switch
and
You've come a Long Way Baby

Or Joe Nameth's "Take it off.....Take it ALL off!

Toys:

"I'm the Sole Survivor"
"You knocked my block off"
"You suck my battleship"
There's some Trouble jingle that we can quite remember (THANK GOD)

Why was butter so big (what year did Last Tango in Paris" come out -Oh 1972 ny sleepy compadre tells me):

"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature"
and
Da da da DA (and the crown appears after eating Imperial Margerine

If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's
on the label label label
you will like it, like it, like it
on your table table table

I can bring home the bacon...
Fry it up in a pan...
And never ever let you forget you're a man,
'Cause I'm a WOMAN...with Enjoli

They call it....CHARLIE


Hot dogs, Armour hot dogs,
what kind of kids eat Armour hot dogs?....
(Memory is failing me now)

My Bologna has a first name
it's O-S-C-A-R
My Bologna has a second name is M-A-Y-E-R
I love to eat it every day
but if you ask me why I'll say
'Cause Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A


How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
One. Tw-hoo. Three
Three licks.


Anywyas, I can't remember crapola about Real Estate but I sure have 70's TV commercials down.


Go on. What did I miss. Humiliate me, It's 5:30, I've been up since 3:00. I can take it.


And, if there are typo's - eat it.

I'd like to teach the world to sing...

Please, Keep America beautiful! (Crying Indian)

Butter! Parkay :)

It's Operation, the wacky doctor's game. Don't touch the sides. BuZZ! Butterfingers!

Connect Four: "Pretty sneaky sis."

Life cereal: "He likes it! Hey Mikey!"

Geez, y'all get up early in the morning on a Saturday, I tell you what!

Lisa's gone back to bed, but apparently instead of sleeping, "she'd like to buy the world a coke..."

i guess i need to eat it, cuz "you suck my battleship" is dammed funny!:D

and i can't give you mojo at the moment, but, you SO deserve it for remembering all of those classics!! mojo hugs and sweet dreams, darlin.

Even on the weekends I can't sleep past six. No matter how late I stay up or how vigorous the throw was. I go out front to get the paper and only my senior neighbors are out and about. We're kindred spirits.

I wonder if I should start taking my dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Sac, how do you manage to rise so early in the morning...

Wait,.. Don't answer that... ;)

... That's a'spicy meat'a'ball'a!!

That's so funny! Me too!! I got up at 6 this morning, rather than the 5:30 am of yesterday. I felt like I slept in. If I could ever sleep until 7 or 8, now that would really be sleeping in for me. It rarely happens. I've never had to use an alarm clock in my life.

My husband and I laugh at our "senior" status too. We're up at the crack up dawn and we go out to dinner mid-afternoon or at least by 5 to beat the dinner crowds. It has it's rewards though. It really is nice to relax with cocktails and have much better service. Maybe we should move to Florida??
;)

I always think about the Seinfeld episodes where Jerry is visiting his parents in Florida. They wake him up at something like 6 am and tell him that they wanted to let him sleep in. :D

Anybody remember the Barry Manilow "Commercial Medley"?

"Buy Hoover - it Sucks!"
