It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature

I love music. Just not the kind of music you probably like, no one likes what I like. I like old country i.e. Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash , Charlie Rich etc. But lately I have found a new station I like. If you are in the Omaha, NE area give it a try. It's 101.9 KOOO. It is classic pop hits. On Sunday this station played the 1973 ( I was 5 years old)Top 40 Countdown hosted by Casey Casum (spelling?). Elvis was still in the Top 40 believe it or not. Paul McCartney was number 1, I was not impressed with that week's countdown. But it was fun to listen to.

This radio station takes me back with every song it plays. Most songs are from the 70's and 80's that were in the top 10. A song came on the other day that really really took me back. It was from the first album "set" I ever bought. The first album "set" I bought was Don Kirschner Presents....the song I am referring to is "Hot Child in the City". Anyone but me remember that song? I loved it! Try to picture me loving this song...I had to work in the kitchen and that song came on, I started dancing and ooohing and ahhing and I remembered every single word, so of course I had to sing it as well! The youngsters in the kitchen started dancing too, only I am pretty sure they were laughing at me and not with me, super fun though.

Now I have the older people in the kitchen listening and the nurses come up and say "Is that Eye of the Tiger?" lol...yep, everyone is liking it. It reminds people of where they were and what they were doing when they first heard a particular song.

But the radio station has started another phase...now people are remembering commercials that no longer appear on television. The latest one... remember the commercial that said "It's not nice to fool mother nature"? I will give you a minute on that one. I racked my brain for almost a full day trying to remember what the product was they were selling with that tag line.

Ok here is where I really want to drive you insane. You know damn good and well you remember the tag line, but not the product, right?

Here is a clue, it was a "butter" product. LOL

So now we all play a game called "Guess that commercial"...for instance, what was the the tag line for the indian with a single tear at the ocean?...I won't make you wait, it was "Keep America Beautiful".

If you think of any commercials with a good tag line, let me know so I can drive my staff crazy.
