That radio station commercial really took me by surprise. Many years ago my dad once said, when making a joke about how crappy country music was, "I was going to marry my horse but I couldn't afford the bridal suite". All these years I was under the impression he came up with a joke that stuck with me, but now I realize where he got it. I can't wait to call him out on it when I show him this, though he probably won't remember saying it.
a commercial for the "Thriller" album? so cool. it's hard to believe that album was ever "new." It's such a classic now. Alessio jeans had to have the greatest jingle EVER I always thought that the "Thinking Man" statue looked like a man on the toilet
@endofthelinejoel Correction: It seems that the Bouncing Souls made a cover version (or stole the lyrics) in '97 and Google doesn't seem to know who made the original (I just googled the lyrics you hear on the commercial).
97 WYNY is now HOT 97. The WYNY call letters would be used again once it became country at 107.1 later in the 80s. WKHK and its country format didn't last too long at 106.7 -- it moved to WYNY and WKHK became Lite FM a year or 2 later. Gotta love B 17 BAAAHHHHMER -- TARGET WELVE O CAULK That jingle in the Sterling Optical ad would NOT be out of place as a sitcom opening theme for the time period. $6.99 LP $7.49 Tape!
Wow I was 1 day old when these aired for the first time. How cool.
