TV Commercials

[Jerry Oz]

The holiday commercials that I can't stand are the There's-A-Luxury-Car-Outside-With-A-Bow-On-It variety. I mean, how rich do you have to be to purchase a car without needing your spouse's input on the finances? I especially think the one where the husband buys his wife a puppy and she "loves" it before whistles and somebody flies out of the woods in a $70,000 pickup truck is a hoot.

Talk about two different Americas...

By the way, is Liberty Mutual finally retiring their Limu Emu and Doug commercials? I know you said Ralph hates them but it looks like they're gone.

By the way, is Liberty Mutual finally retiring their Limu Emu and Doug commercials? I know you said Ralph hates them but it looks like they're gone.

We still see them, with a baby grand piano and a replacement for Doug.
The Liberty Mutual ad, with all the dogs, drives us crazy.
Also, why doesn't the Jardiance dancer ever lose any weight? Not a good
representative for the product.

The actual Mercedes ad was on TV prior to Christmas 2023, but is proprietary
on YouTube.

Interestingly, one of the Five Satins, and I´m not sure at which point in time, Sonny Sanders was a member of the group. In later years he would make his mark as an arranger and producer. He would, in 1964, produce ¨The Swinging Kind¨ backed with the future Northern Soul classic ¨All Alone¨ by The Sunliners, my old group.

In later years working as a piano tuner, I would twice tune for Liberace at Michigan amphitheater Meadow Brook in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I didn´t get to meet the guy, but I damned near threw my back out removing the candelabra from the piano.

1960 Five Satins - I’ll Be Seeing You - [2023 Mercedes Christmas commercial]



'Lovely treatment of the popular standard which had been composed in 1938 for the failed stage musical “Right This Way” but lay mostly dormant until 1944 when America discovered it in a big way, turning it into one of WWII’s most memorable ballad hits.'
