Anyone remember the bank commercial... ?Bank of Hawaii? Where the bowling ball went rolling down the hallway and stairs and the little girl covered her face? I can't remember the whole thing, just that it was SO CUTE!

Didn't the bowling ball end up knocking over a stand that supported a fish aquarium?

Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should.

I'd rather fight than switch (Tarrington Cigarettes)

To a Frenchman, it's the Eiffel Tower,
To a Dutchman, it's a pretty flower,
To a Indian, it's a monument,
To a smoker, it's a Kent.

The taste of Kent,
The taste of Kent,
The taste of Kent,
More taste, Fine Tobacco,

You can take Salem out of the Country, but
You can't take the country out of Salem.

BTW, here is a link to the Kent Commercial ( I would have never got the words, except for the last line and the chorus).

YES! That's the one! The little girl looked SO scared - just cute.

I didn't notice if anyone recalled the.. Johns(t)on's No Roach jingle

Johnson's No Roach - WORKS!

And I vaguely remember Granny Goose spraying around the room for a mosquito? Or was that just a dream...

A little bit ot, but there was a man who used to spray a dog with a water gun - Freckles??? Or say to hit it on the nose with a rolled up pap... OMG! That was on Checkers and Pogo, wasn't it?!?

wow

I still have this old, crumbling piece of paper with her autograph. Think i was in 7th grade when she, Doug Mossman, Russ Francis, Teddy and Nancy Tanaka (!) - who else... I think it was Jim Nabors - were all at McDonald's promoting something... Got all their sigs that day

She was the NICEST lady! She held my face in her hands, said i was boootiful, called Mr. Mossman over to confirm... made my greasy-haired-pimply-face-adolescent-day i tell ya! *sigh*

totally ot, sorry.. but brought back memories...

Re: Local TV Jingles From Yesteryear

Does anyone remember the HDS commercial with the Honolulu Boy Choir?

We are young men of this country,...

I think that one was taped in 1980/81, therebouts. I had 2 friends who were in that commercial, one of whom had a closeup.

That commercial had staying power, being aired years after all of those members had outgrown the choir.

Re: Local TV Jingles From Yesteryear

OK you Generation Kikaida guys. I know you're out there.

Ouch, that hurts.

There is a vintage early-1970s KIKU-TV commercial jingle that I can't get out of my head tonight -- but I can't remember all the words, either! It was for a local pest control company -- either termites or cockroaches, I can't recall which. There was a really cheesy low budget animation of a dancing bug. It might have even been a paper-and-stick puppet. The singsongy Japanese lyrics, sung by a woman, went something like this, although I am probably butchering them:

Na-n-da nan-da
Na-n-da nan-da
A nan-na oi-ta
A nan-na oi-ta
DAH-dah dah-dah
DAH-dah dah-dah
Dah-dah-daah-daah!

One of my Japanese-speaking friends remembered that song and said that it goes:

Nanda, nanda?
Ana ga aita. Ana ga aita.
Ana no naka ni wa mushi ga iru!

In English (loosely):

What's that? What's that?
A hole has opened. A hole has opened.
Inside that hole there is a bug!

That was an exterminator commercial? I don't remember that one. I can vaguely remember KIKU-13 airing Hoy Hoy Trap-A-Roach commercials.

Aha! So that's what the words are. Thanks!
