70s Spots: Enjoli Perfume & Aqua Velva After Shave (Pete Rose, 1979)

‘I’m a woman!’

“I can bring home the bacon. Fry it up in a pan.”

Today, we have two scented campaigns you’ll likely remember. First, we have a classic commercial for Enjoli Perfume from November of 1979. This series of spots featured a jingle based on Peggy Lee’s “I’m A Woman.”

After that, from June of ’79, Pete Rose runs the bases and Joe Morgan makes the stop for Aqua Vela After Shave. Sing it with me now, “There’s something about an Aqua Velva Man!”

Peachy keen

“I like pickles…but they don’t like me!”

Today, we’ve got a pair of spots from 1978. I’m not saying these two commercials go hand-in-hand necessarily…

Firstly, one for Breyers Peach Ice Cream from April of ’78. Second, a commercial for Di-Gel from October of ’78 featuring a memorable tagline and jingle.

Fishin’ up some Kellogg’s

“Good. Pure. Simple.”

A pair of commercials today for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. One features a father and son fishing outing, the other three friends on a biking trip “out West.” The spots aired in early January 1972 and were likely produced in 1971. Sprinkle some sugar on them and enjoy.

It’s good to be King

“The most exciting original motion picture event of all time.”

The never subtle Dino De Laurentiis released his version of King Kong in December of 1976. I saw it in a movie theater at the age of 10 and enjoyed it. I also developed a crush on Jessica Lange. I don’t believe I’ve seen the film since. I have the feeling it doesn’t stand up to adult scrutiny. You can enjoy this TV commercial for the film, also from December ’76.

After that, a spot for CBS detective series Kojak, starring Telly Savalas. This one aired on the same day in ’76.

“You see them on TV. Now hear them on LP.”

Raise your hand if you were aware that Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, stars of The Odd Couple TV series, recorded an album in 1973? Well, whether or not this LP was known to you, the fact that it exists makes everything in the solar system shine just a little bit brighter.

Some background, The Odd Couple Sings album was recorded with The London Festival Orchestra and Chorus and was released on London Records in the summer of ’73.

What does the glorious thing sound like? Find out just below where Randall & Klugman belt out “Applause, Applause.”
