This commercial chokes me up. Times were so much better in many ways, when they were simple and innocent.

Holy crap I'm old... I remember this commercial.

You are so RIGHT!! The 70's were a great time to be a kid as well as be innocent in so many ways! I too, would love to turn the clock back & just revisit all the things that made that time so wonderful! God Bless!

Thank God for the people who post these old commercials. They are the closest thing we have to a time machine.

Who would dislike this???Everyone has the right to have their own honest say, but maybe this classic toy/commerical wasn't during their era,this certainly was in mine!Always remembered this commerical,NEVER forgot it!!!

70's kicked butt!!! everything was so much better! home cooked meals, cartoons, crafts, candy for a nickel etc etc

I had an inchworm when I was a kid!! I'm not sure what even happened to it, but I loved that thing!!

This jingle haunted me for years...played in my head since I was a child. Find myself humming it from time to time just outta the blue. and here it is.

This was my favorite toy as a toddler. I used to sleep with that next to my bed every night.

I used to love this jingle! I was too old for an inchworm tho.

It was great being a kid in the 1970s. Even these 30-second song jingles were better than #1 radio hits of today.

It’s stuck in my head, it’s such a beautiful song

lol my best friend's uncle was in this commerical! 0:19

The toy and the song are adorable. I wasn't even conceived back then and this ad is so sweet I almost cried.

OMG, I'm gonna cry! I haven't seen this commercial in ages! The '70s really were a good time to be a child, and perhaps the last time to be an innocent child, rather than a marketing commodity. Everything made sense back then. I wish I could revisit the '70s.

I still remember this commercial even after half a century.

nice to see this old commercial. brings back memories of a great time to be a kid.

@shmuli9 You are so right about cable! In 1976 we moved to an area that was blocked from TV signals by mountains, and had to get cable -- but it was exactly the same as broadcast TV. Then in the late 70's they actually added a MOVIE CHANNEL !!! Whoa! Still in all, I liked far more TV on those old 12 channels than the 150 I get nowadays.

that was a really cute toy. i love the little hat!

I was singing this song in my head today and thought " wonder if it's on KZfaq?" I never had an Inchworm but this song shore stuck with me Ha Ha..

I had this toy as a child...great memories...

Thanks a lot for posting.I remember seeing this ad many times when I was a youngster in the early 70's.

Thank you for the sweet memory. My sister and I each had an inchworm and we both LOVED them!

OMG!! I had one of these things!! I loved it and yes, in spite of the noise, which I do not remember, it still makes me teary to see this!!!

I rode my inch worm everywhere when I was 2. I miss it, it was alot more fun than my car as I am now 45

My youngest brother (he is 45) had one of these and I remember that jingle. He lives his life in a stupid way these days and I get the feeling that I will outlive him. Seeing this and hearing that song again makes me really sad to think about my little brother from many years ago.

Everytime I see an inch worm in my yard I have to stop and sing to it. "inchworm,inchworm, I love you......." LOL I just came in the house to look this up and see if I was actually remembering the words correctly. LOL Thanks youtube!!

My grandma kept this toy for many years! Still in the basement!!

Such nice singing 😊 and music

OMG I remember this. I forgot all about inchworm. I wanted one so badly when I was a kid

It would be faster to walk than to use one of these. The commercial is beautiful, something lost today.

Awwww so much nostalgia 😢🥰

OMG! I had an Inchworm when I was a kid! Ahhh the 70's! Great toys, Saturday morning cartoons and playing outside with other kids! I feel for kids today.

Brings back so much memories growing up in Brooklyn..

This could've been a hit song for Linda Ronstadt.

I had one loved it

I remember this toy. Everyone on my block had one but me. (Grumling)

I totally had one of these!

One wonders how many grown-ups owe their lower back pains to owning one of these as a kid...

I was obsessed with my inchworm. It was green and yellow.

OMG this was one of my favourite ever toys when I was little!

I remember every kid had this and the Big Wheel lol.

oh, what memories! I actually RODE one of those things when I was a kid (yes, I'm that old) It was exhausting! Very nostalgic..

My little sister has one of these! XD

The frickin good old days....

i don't remember this commercial but i remember that my sisters and i had one of these that we shared it was so much fun this vintage commercial brings back a lot of great memories

Maybe this is why I grew up wanting to become a Fremen from Dune! I was a worm rider at a young age!!

So nice to see this. It brings back childhood memories. 😊

Two bad they don't have those for adults. It would bring bring back memories of riding them.

I was born in the 90's. Everyday I ask my parents why? Why couldn't I have been born in late seventies, early eights and gotten to watch hardy boys and dungeons and dragons as a kid. But alas, there was no internet!

My sister had one of these...thanks for the memories :-)

There was this toy that my mom had when she was a little girl during the 70-early 80's and it was a dog that when you push it's stomach it talks, laughs and I believe it was supposed to be a decetive. It had a deerstalker hat and other things I'm sure. All I know was that when it started to completely die in the 90's it scared the crap out of me. That's how I can remember it. My mom doesn't remember it at all! I was wondering if someone knew what I was talking about or in that general area!

I love the inchworm

@jusuwa LMAO! I never understood this song, and when I was a kid I would listen intently whenever the commercial came on, trying to figure it out. That's exactly how it sounded too. "Inchworm, gaaadnwooo, wonchu widme everwheraku" Now that I know the words, well...that's gotta be one of the stupidest songs for a commercial I've ever heard. Even back then, the "Ride up and down and up and down..." part annoyed me because it was kind of obvious what you do with it.

I new a fat kid ,got on one of these and WHAM! flattend er straight out.ah memories

I had this when I was a kid...

I remember seeing this commercial watching "Captain Kangaroo".. One thing I noticed later was that the commercial conveniently edited out the "crick-crack-crick-crack" sound the thing made/makes.. But then a lot of toy commercials did that; some of them still do! LOL But it still brings back some great memories!

Thanks for posting this commercial. One of the best ever made!!

I wanted one of these so badly--unfortunately I was about 12 or 13 when they came out. Definitely too old! I missed the big wheel, too! But I still remember the song!

I used to think she was singing "Inchworm, God knows...."

I WANT ONE!!!

"Inchworm, inchworm..." - That's what SHE said!

My sister used to have one in the '70's. BTW, Jim Carrey does an In Living Color parody song called White White Baby, and he does an "inchworm" dance. Check it out.

I never understood why my father roared with laughter every time this commercial aired..... until now. The tagline at the end is a bit suggestive. :D

@emulb2001 I remember this commercial! TWEVLE channels? Even with cable, we only had about 12 channels (and at that time, in Seattle, "having cable" meant "getting better reception of the local channels, plus the VHF statuions from Vancouver and VIctoria, and the UHF stations from Tacoma"). Using the antenna, we had 6.

I was a little too old for inchworm but had a Marvel the mustang which moved in the same basic way.

My sister had one of these things, and yes, it made a horrible noise. Scrunch, Scrunch, Scrunch, across the floor.

Fuck that looks like the slowest mode of transportation ever. I WANT ONE.

I like going up and down, up and down! ^_^

Now I want an Inchworm :/

Monto, it haunts me too..I remember hearing many loud sirens one summer day in 1972, and shortly after seeing this commercial on TV,a man came to my next door neighbor's house to tell them that one of their kids had been struck by a car while riding her bicycle, and was critically injured...I can still see my Mother trying to calm the frantic Mother of the girl...this tune always reminds me of that fateful day...

I want one :O

Lol, my friend's uncle is in this commercial! He's the boy at 0:20 [: I've met him-- his name is Mark. Hahaha--

@burnedbycaustic I definitely agree with you on that one too. The noise was obnoxious, but the toy WAS cute. Brings back a lot of memories, admittedly good and bad.

Twelve channels?!! God, I can remember only having 3 and those didn't come on till tea time!!!

Exactly,those solid plastic wheels are very noisy on the pavement,The Big Wheel ,Green Machine,and other such riding toys were noisy,too.If the wheels were solid rubber,they be much quieter.

@UglyGirlSingsGood I remember when I used to pick up my friend to walk to school and he would always be watching Romper Room. I still remember that lady looking through her magnifying glass and calling out the names of children watching. I always wondered why she never called my name. She always called my friends name :(

@emulb2001 I totally agree, but I think it would only work for me if I could have a kid's perspective again. Otherwise, it would be a tease--traveling back to the 70's and having my childlike form while also having an adult mind and sensibilities under the young exterior. Like William S. Burroughs said, "to feel it, you have to BE there." But I'm not 8 years old anymore... I'm 40...

My fat brother broke mine. They don’t joke about weight limits. I’m still bitter.

@aindiandog Weird, but it never left my brain either! (And I was early teens when it came out, so it's not like I wanted one!). First time I've heard this jingle since.....man, but talk about deja vu!

@TheIronSheikSociety I know the feeling...

Only the nerd kids in the neighborhood had these. The cool kids had Big Wheels.

EternalCUrmudgeon you are SO right!! I begged and begged for that stupid toy and then I got it and was TERRIFIED! No cute little song. It scared the heck out of me! My mom and I still joke about that waste of money toy! A few years ago I googled it and found someone giving tips on how they made it a garden ornament because their kids wouldn't ride it either!!

me too, that sure is a whole lot of energy you got to have like them bouncing balls they had back them you had to use your own body mechanics to use them.

ride up and down and up and down

Yes, mthivier.....the voiceover at the end sounds exactly like Kate Jackson.

Ya know yer old when....LOL!!

@jusuwa Inchworm, you've gotta know... I want you with me everywhere I go... Inchworm, Inchworm, I'm tellin' you true... Inchworm, I love you... Inchworm, I love you

@vicki822 amen to the 70's

I think the ones they make now(by Radio Flyer)do have wagon-type rubber wheels.

I would love to see the Bikini Woman from the 80s TAB COLA commercials riding one of these LOL ..............Ill shut up now.

Inchworm..move up and down with your friends....

@emulb2001 12 channels!!!!! FUCKIN HELL, WE ONLY HAD 4 IN THE UK UNTIL ABOUT 2001!!!!

“Not for fat kids.” But in the 70s we didn’t have any.

Call me crazy, but does anyone else think the voiceover at the end sounds like Kate Jackson?

I'm scared.

OMG my mom wrote my last comment on here .

@cakedecorator253 SHE WAS ON MY ACCOUNT

@danieljh Yeah... and some scumbag lawyer would be suing the toy company for some safety related non-sense too

Aren't those still for sale? I remember seeing one last year
