    From the Ohio Players' Funky Worm:
    That's funky, that's funky,
    That's like nine cans of shaving powder.

    All those line dances that are referred to as the Hustle are actually derivatives of The Bus Stop.

    LOL. With the adapter that let you play 45s? With a record changer, you had a little tower thingy, but otherwise you had the flat discs.

    Faygo Red Pop commercials were classics. Also, Marlboro cigarettes [[Marlboro Man) and Charmin [["please don't squeeze the Charmin" although I never knew why).

    And then there were the oddly-named Hostess cake cartoon characters. I always thought they were suggestive in their names: Twinkie the Kid, Captain Cupcake, Fruitpie the Magician, Happy Ho Ho and the very unfortunately named King Dong. Am I the only one who sees double entendre there? Have since I was a little boy.
