TWA in America also used that song as a jingle...

Me too. The commercial was exhibited at the Royal Easter Show in colour so it has a special memory for me in about 1970.

I tried to get my school class to reenact it in grade 6. I was a budding director back then! :DDDDDDDDDD

It was based on the hit song My Beautiful Baloon. I think it was written by Burt Baccarat. He wrote Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head and a heap of other classics.

I remember seeing an old Bedford truck with the TAA logo on it, just a couple of days after they'd gone out of business. A lonely figure in a back street near Sydney Airport. Poignant.

I think that might be Rory O'Donohue singing? He and Graeme Bond collaborated on a lot of jingles post Aunty Jack.

Bought a few pairs of AMCO flairs due to this ad 😂

They had a couple of iconic adds - This one helped me like ....well I best not say

Is she still alive does anyone know

@@leannesmith5818 I reckon so. I'm a truckie and I have ABC radio on wherever I go and a couple of years back I heard reported in relation to some matter (perhaps court) she was living in a caravan with her partner. I do so much driving all the years flow together so it could've been four or six years ago LOL. Edit turns out it was 10 years ago heck: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMWefLtkkpa5m3U.html Here you go from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_(actress) Retirement from acting Her last television appearance was in 2002, when she briefly became a spokesperson for weight-loss company Jenny Craig. She claimed to have lost 17 kilograms in seven weeks. Abigail was interviewed on Sydney radio station 2GB on her 60th birthday in 2006. At that time she was living on the Gold Coast, Queensland. In March 2011, Australian current affairs program Today Tonight produced a story on Abigail, claiming that she had fallen on hard times, and claiming she was living as a squatter in a derelict church. A rebuttal story was aired the following evening by rival current affairs program, A Current Affair. In fact she had been living there with permission, with her husband, as her home had been partially destroyed by floods. Her damaged home was being prepared for rebuilding. The Today Tonight story captured some hidden camera footage of Abigail. She did not appear on camera consensually.

@@leannesmith5818 She's still alive. She's in Queensland. She and her husband stay out of the limelight these days. They went through a bit of a rough time during the floods a few years back but they're back on their feet now.

@@leannesmith5818 She's still alive at 74 going into 75. She was a real English goddess in looks and cheekiness. I loved her.

Abigail so very cute indeed. I want a tarax please

Sleazy!!

Now I remember them and more...

katoomba stn was known as no. 96. for reasons. lol.

@@hayekianman "manufacturing" funny the Asians and Germans etc are really into it!

Did you ever see any of these ads back then?

I could watch this all day))

Please do this, Yoshi, these ads are a great look back into TV history, and you're on par with Retrontario (a Canadian KZfaqr who does similar videos showing local Canadian TV ads from the early '80's onward) for doing them. Keep up the great work. From Canada, Neville6000

Yeah it was better then today

Me too. I can't say I relate to life here today. I think it's better to be out of touch. No more dance halls, no more street parking when shopping, no more Coles Variety Stores, all too many ppl I knew back then are dead, never saw old school friends since the 70s, work places have changed, schools are producing ppl without manners today, who BTW know nothing, etc.

Mary Pevitt that’s maybe because you watch Studio 10.

@@seferinorino6951 I do not watch studio 10, can't stand the show , I just can't stand it, I hate the show😬😬😬😬😬😬

Mary Pevitt well, if what you say is true about all the ads you see on tv then you need to watch something else. There are many ads like you mentioned but I wouldn’t say that’s all there is. The old ones seemed to be very long.

@@marypevitt174 and pet insurance! you know just incase your hamster gets run over by the wheel.

@@michaelearthling lol 👍

Who watches TV? It's all streaming and no ads.

Moo01100 they were the good old days mate, ,long gone

Mick Sydney not that long ago you need to be 60 to experience the 70s

Yeah the higher crime rates, racism and all that.

@dahlia noir To be fair, I was a little kid growing up in Australia in the 70's. I had no idea about the White Australia policy - you just didn't think about such things, and nobody ever talked about it. Wasn't til I was at school and I was about 15 that I heard about it.

Yeah, the glory days if the stolen generation and aboriginals needing permission to marry, interracial marriage and gay sex being criminalised. The good old days, for the rich whites.

What has changed? What can we do?

Retro Thingz it's good to find out where the video originated from, as I found it at a swap meet in South Australia. It still has the cover too, and is exactly how you described it. The car on the front looks like it was coloured in with an orange highlighter :)

It was ! Don't think I even had a computer at the time (about twenty years ago). From memory, it was cobbled together as a prize in a competition and originally shown on a big screen at one of the major collector fairs over here. The first few commercials came off 16 mm film which I had to transfer. Most of the other ads from Iced Vo Vo onwards came from another VHS compilation tape which was created by a fellow collector. Although, I only included the best quality items on this final tape that you've got. And, as I recall, it also, originally, included all the car commercials as well (several of which were also on 16 mm) which you've uploaded separately elsewhere on your channel. There have always been nostalgia buffs getting around making an effort to preserve this sort of material. Thanks again

Yeah I separated them, the cigarette and coke commercials are from the tape as well. It's good that you did this back then otherwise these commercials could have been lost forever. They are great to watch and are an important part of Australian history. Thank you for putting the video together all those years ago :)

Would you have an ad for "Cherry Ripe" chocolate bar by McRobertsons with Peter Doyle singing the song

Leed lemonade?

except for IVF, cancer treatments and a few other things I can't think of at the moment.

I thought the same. 😬

Same Terry. In Tas we only had 2 channels and didn't even own a tv till '65. I do remember 4 or 5 though.

Yeah, dwell Adelaide was/is always a decade behind the rest of us 😀.

Im from Adelaide too and have never ever heard any of these either! I used to know all the ads we had and would sing along with all of them like the majority of us would I think these need to go back into the woodwork for eternity.

I am from regional NSW. I think I recognised the TAA ad but that was it.

He looked soooooooo young then! :DDDDDDDDDD

Abigail 😍🤪

YES THEY'RE VERY LOUD TODAY.

Bang on 57 two weeks ago..... That TAA add reminds me of a lot lost however..

Stavros gave me nightmares as a child (leader of the Darleks in Dr Who)

and Life Lemonade ...it's a beauty

Kevin Dennis was actually two people, Dennis Gowing and Kevin Heffernan.. They combined their first names to make the name Kevin Dennis. When they split Dennis Gowing kept the name and we all thought he was actually Kevin Dennis.. His real name was Marshall Dennis Whyte born in London before he was adopted. Amazing what you find with google.

@@kaindog100 is he the same Kevin Heffernan that drove a LJ Torana GTR-XU1 at Bathurst?

@@davidewhite69 I can’t find any info on that but there was a Kevin Heffernan in a commodore in the 90’s.

Pity they're not competitive with their pricing...

NO MORE RICE BUBBLES. 😭😭😭

'Guess how long I'll be heeeere.' 'It's her sixteenth visit...this...yearrrrr [sobs]'

The main man in the Trix commercial is Stuart Wagstaff.

Yes Stephen. And now the ads are double the volume of the programs we're watching, and they dumb us down as well, which I loathe. Now when turning on the tv, everything is Covid, death insurance, riots, murders, ppl disappearing, stupid idiots smashing their cars into others, sponsor not the usual 3rd world kids, but an Aussie child, etc. Don't see many ads for Aussie products these days. Life these days is really depressing.

Yer - Put the kettle on or go for a wizz

not a Kevin Dennis fan i see!

Abigail was HOT back then..she was my first major crush growing up..lol

No not then - it was common - Now the Big M add girls..........
