Oh the acting in that one was so bad...Okay now give me an astonished look...take 32. I can imagine the producer telling that young housewife in the cleaning aisle, "look lady think as if you just found out you're pregnant from your husband's best friend" There ya go now hold that thought...Rinso ad...take 33! And action...
Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.
Oh no, Sue, wasn't me. I'm not in the TV/film industry at all. I just remember the commercial well.
And yes, DNR55, the song was done by the Peter Moon Band (as well as by others).

I stumbled across a HwnTel spot last night. Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5qVFYpFT4k
The singer kind of sounds like Roland Caz. that's why I was confused in my mind. What a great production. I'm just a sucker for tear jerker slo-motion video, especially since my son is waayy overseas now.
What is your favorite LOCAL commercial past or present?
I think this has come up in the past, but again my favorite all time:
1. First Insurance - 2 small kids are dragging a bowling ball up the stairs on a blanket. They reach the top, the bowling ball dislodges and rolls down the stairs, smashing into objects below and finally obliterating a fish aquarium and its contents before the voice over announces something about the firm.
2. I think it was either the Hawaii Visitors Bureau or Chamber of Commerce - The $20 bill that a visitor spent and how it circulated through our economy.
3. Hawaii State Office of Elections - A young boy and his grandfather are walking around a darkened state capitol with cameras watching their every move. It is an Orwellian future and the point of the message was the importance of voting before that future became a reality. Aired in the 1980s.
4. The old Lex Brodie Tire commercials - Thank You Very Much
5. Malcolm Love's Tire Warehouse Commercials - "Go Now Hawaii" so bad that in retrospect it is good because I still remember them.

This spot isn't ringing a bell at all for me and it should! Maybe tomorrow the gray matter between my ears will start releasing some info!!! Yes, that does sound like one of the Caz and the concept fits into the campaign that I produced, discussed above. But, for now, I don't recognize the spot or the talent. And I'm pretty sure the only time I worked with the Caz had to do with United Airlines.

Where are the brain cells when I need 'em?
====================
Here is why there is so much mental confusion about this great local spot;
Seems like there were 2 versions by different talent. The latter being the talent used in the comml.
Ya know what? I'm wondering if the version that's used in the commercial is sung by Bobby Hall. We spent an entire night in the studio recording that song so I know a pre-recorded track wasn't used. Not particularly good at pulling all-nighters, I know I took several naps plus the 20+ years passage of time isn't helping my memory but I do remember Bobby singing. Whether it was lead or back-up, I don't remember. I do, however, remember it being the PMB and not the Cazimeros.
The only 2 spots I recall producing in that campaign were the homesick college freshman (with Hawaiian bracelet, dorm scene, party scene) and the dad and boy fishing (a sepia, flashback scene). The spot linked above is still completely foreign to my memory!

That second link sure sounds like the Cazimero's except for the instrumentation in the background. The first is definately PMB. Too bad about the sister

=====================
Bobby Hall must be the voice. His voice has a similar timber to Roland Caz.
That all-nighter paid off.

You're probably right as that link sounded like the Cazimero's but there was a bit of raspiness to the sound, making it not exactly as Roland would have sung it. Plus the instrumentation definately didn't sound CAZ at all.
