If you grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, click here for some enriched-environment throwback Madison Avenue advertising jingles, arranged by Lester Lanin and recorded by his pop-swing band in 1961. Mr. Clean; TWA; Bon Ami Jet Spray; Chiquita Banana; Blue Bonnet; Brylcreem – so many catchy tunes, so many years ago.
Do your neurons a favor and have a listen! Can you remember the lyrics?
Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya
Brylcreem, you’ll look so debonair
Brylcreem, the gals will all pursue ya –
They love to get their fingers in your hair!
BTW The Michael J. Fox Foundation just had a blog post about the power of music. Click here to read Music as Medicine for the Mind.
