I've been singing this all day! It must have been on TV more than 20 years ago.

What random ads do you remember from back in the day?

@Trepidatious that advert was the bane of my life at primary school in the 70s! Guess my name!!!Grin

The Evian advert with the roller skating babies.

And there was a Maxell ad from the early 80s featuring Pete Murphy from Bauhaus sitting in a darkened room looking mean and moody listening to
Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain.

‘Everyone’s a fruit and nutcase’ starring Frank Muir

Castrol GTX - Liquid engineering

Whooooooaaaah, Body-foo-ooorm! - gets in my head every bloody time I pass them in supermarket.

On a similar note there was one with Claire Rayner espousing the benefits of new Always ultra towels with their slim size and wings (blue liquid also featured, of course).

I clearly watched plenty of ITV as a child.

Ooo Maureen, she's cheap. < Ad that's memorable because it's unbelievable that anyone thinks such a sexist, horrible tagline is ok in the 21st century.

The mark of a man.

I remember these two from my childhood. I grew up in the north west of England, in the '70s &' 80s, so they won't mean anything if you didn't..

'St. Helen's Glass... has the class' (has to be sung with 'northern' vowels)

'Call Eileen Bilton!' I have no idea what the advert was for, or what Eileen had to do with it!
