Jim Nabors album commercial

[supressorgrid]

Song include" I'll be Homo for Christmas","Homo the Range","Queen for a Day"...

[maxpowers518]

Jim Nabors is way cool.

[lucretia101]

surprise, surprise, surprise. seriously though, this is disturbing lol

[valeriepowers]

I remember commercials like that it brings back so many memories.I didn't like 8 tracks too good but still all the memories.They don't make commercials like these anymore like they used too.

[PianomanBRJ]

I just called the 1800 number because I want a Jim Nabors 8-track! Oh well number's disconnected... --Oh! maybe I'll email them... cough* I mean mail them... (said in the best Gomer Pyle voice I could muster) :)

[eyeh8nbc]

@PianomanBRJ Just so you don't forget, do it before midnight tomorrow!

[smithraymond09029]

Didn't this guy get Hepatitis screw young boys in Thailand or somewhere else out there?

[Jannghi]

I remember this one, and I don't even like him.

[MrDevin1125]

to bad they didn't have him sing the impossible dream in the commercial.

[elc1960]

Okay now, all joking aside: Jim had tremendous vocal ability, but his phrasing was totally wrong for pop or easy listening music. As a result, his music sounded like 100% pure, USDA choice prime cheese. The era that this ad was from ended with the Boxcar Willie ads, the wacky answering machine tapes and Zamfir's Pan flute albums. The only thing cheesier than this record would be hearing Jim Nabors do an "all-disco" album (shudder).

[TheSasha555]

I bet this guy got so many blows.

[tryandlisten]

@TheSasha555 from women or men? There were rumours for years he was gay

[capacola262743]

@tryandlisten rumors?? he is gayer than liberace.

[troopcom]

Gomer can sing!!!

[dick12peters]

jim nabors...loved by millions. That would by zamfir, master of the pan flute.

[ShamWasBetter]

Jim Nbors wants to be your neighbor and than use your butthole for his personal bullseye.

[usa02]

I believe the ending v/o was the late Gene Edwards.

[elc1960]

Jim Nabors was to singing what Zamfir was to . . . whatever that thing was that he played.

[texasanarchy]

His christmas album is on the real tho, dog!

[payphonetech]

Sooprize, Sooprize, Sooprize!

[alicefay]

Saying Jim Nabors has a good voice is kind of like saying the Mona Lisa is a nice painting.

[alicefay]

OMG, eight track tapes! had a ton of them. They were the latest thing. There was a battle between eight tracks and cassettes. Cassettes won. Sort of like the Blue Ray and the HiDef movie players a couple of years back.

[elc1960]

The height of '70s cheese. All those easy listening records from the mid-'60s through the mid-'70s by Jimmy Durante, Jackie Gleason, Eddy Arnold (he pretty much abandoned Country Music in the early '60s), Ferrante & Teicher, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Percy Faith, Ray Conniff - these recordings were the single biggest inspiration for the "tune in, turn on, drop out" school of thought. Dentist office waiting room music at its finest (or worst).

[mrjiveyjr]

I love the fact that they videotaped this commercial in the lobby of an EconoLodge.

[gjc82071]

@mrjiveyjr LOL!!! Good 1. How about that suit he's wearing? Those are some snappy duds eh? As a kid, 5-10yo, I actually remember seeing these original commercials (or similar ones for his music). I also remember "Silver Eagle Records presents"......Jim Croce & also Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Call 1-800....Order 2 LP Records or Cassette".

[dans1120]

well, gollllllly!

[SuperDianaMarie]

This is a wonderful human being!  I love him!

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

MAGIC...

[3rdPR]

P.O. Box at the train station - is this a front for a drug deal?

[Derby14]

@3rdPR LOL. That is VERY funny! It is a bit suspicious

[markie909]

"Loved by millions" How I recall that quote and how it used to make me chuckle at the cheesiness of it all.

[oldshowfanatic77]

The voice over guy at the end of these commercials used to scare me to death as a child. LOL! The way he would give out the phone number and address info sounded so sinister to me, like he belonged in one of those old horror movies.

[pwntalive]

All the finest companies are run from P.O. Boxes In GCS

[Arsnof]

They misspelled 'neighbors'.

[stevevandien]

Dang, I can't tell you how many times I heard and saw this commercial way back then. No, I didn't go for it, but the commercial did make me buy my first Nabors album:) --

[GeorgeJonesFan100]

I bought this record at a flea market!

[mikebrowncomedy]

Anyone else think former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee resembles this guy?

[creton4]

"So you don't forget, mail before midnight tomorrow." Geez, I wonder how many people that actually worked on!

[EvanGrayForger]

Jim Nabors had zero friends,but he Paul Lynde up the ass.

[TheCumshot666]

Jim Nabors wrote in his autobigraphy..."My days are never complete without some huge meat in my seat"!!!Gollleee...Shazzzammm!­!!

[wildbilltexas]

This so looks like a SNL parody commercial but its real!

[plann99]

yeah i know. i couldnt help but think of eddie murphies buck wheat with this

[asil8686]

Oh wow...I believe my parents had this very album...oh boy...

[3rdPR]

I think this was filmed at salvation army

[PrhymalRage]

ie: the smile at 54 seconds in =0) HAHAHA

[PrhymalRage]

Does anyone else notice his facial expressions have a slight resemblance to Sloth from The Goonies?!?!

[bazookafluke]

I heard Jim Nabors became a carrot. not sure if it's true or not.

[hlmdwmbk]

he does have a good voice but he is still a douche!

[dcat918]

@hlmdwmbk Yea I read from a viewer how he met Jim in New Orleans and tried to shake his hand, and Jim completely ignored him. That's too bad cause I heard Frank Sutton was one of the nicest guys in the world.

[beast6228]

He's still alive, although he might not have the voice he once did, but when he had it, it sure was one hell of a voice.

[DC322]

You will always see him on Memorial Day's Indy 500 singing the Indiana State Theme Song.

[rainydaywoman1957]

wow! on 8 track!!

[Milordvega]

Is a classically trained baritone voice appropriate for the pop sings he was singing?

I thought he sounded good, but maybe for others, it would be too operatic for comfort.

[arcomn]

I was sad to hear he was Gay!!

[tromar]

why is that sad news??

[DontGoToCollege]

They didn't highlight in yellow the current song he was singing when the song titles were scrolling!! Who produced this commercial? I can't believe they forgot that.

[nansflicks]

That technology hadn't been invented yet.

[wdc2998]

who buys this shit?

[akr06]

chocolate rain

[yomamadontdanz]

Jim Nabors had no friends...but he had Rock Hudson up the ass.

[alexbaker98]

Holy shit! Available on 8 track! awesome!

[yomamadontdanz]

Procommenter or petermeater or shitlicker your daddy was queer for charles nelson reilly and your brother fancied paul lynde its no surprise your sticking uo for gomer pyle you turd burgler.

[yomamadontdanz]

jim nabors was in love with don knotts big schlong...

[procommenter]

Why must you promote homosexualism on the Internet? What's in it for you?

[JamesTraficant]

I'm calling it, that shake when he sings his head is a clear sign of parkinsons

[Brandon26acdcfan]

haha my father in law keeps telling me how gomer pyle can sing so i had to get on here and see. only thing is i wasnt born till 1980 so i dont really remember his show or care haha.

[pacmanindy]

There are better TV commercials for various records from various artists. I hate this commercial! Jim Nabors sux! He is better off as Gomer Pyle! Put on Roger Whittaker! He is a far better singer than this nerd!

[yomamadontdanz]

jim nabors was marketed in a pathetic manner because he was typcast as gomer pyle...jim nabors lives in hawaii with his husband charles nelson reilly and they have a 2 children named Butch and Todd.

[brigantine1212]

What a fucking wanker...

[yomamadontdanz]

Shazzammm....poor jim nabors had no friends...but he had rock hudson up the ass.

[opeth32]

He maybe touching something but its not magic. Somebody give him some Haggis!!!

[sknyrd77]

HAY Mary Grace!!!

[dbouffard25]

I like Jim Nabors's singing and think that his talent got sold short in many ways- but what can you do for a guy who will allow himself to be marketed in this pathetic manner?

[sandhgreen]

Heck, he probably needed to make some money. Plus, you have to consider the era in which this commercial aired.

I bet lots of albums sold and money was made.

My question today is: Who saves old Jim Nabors commericals???

[yomamadontdanz]

jim would like to be yer neighbor>he likes twigs and berries!!!

[yomamadontdanz]

jim nabors tea bagged charles nelson reilly bacstage at a don knotts benefit show according to reillys book

[bluebettle]

I believe it.

[glenysdiane]

At last, my kind of music!

[towerman521]

he has the best rendition of the star spangled banner ever. wish someone would post it

[Garr1984]

The company "Suffolk Marketing" is still in business, they are now called "The Beautiful Music Company"... many of their albums advertised on TV in the '80s are now on CD.. unfortunately, this beautiful album is out of print.

[timeshareguy]

too moodypoet...s.t.u.p.i.d.

[dcat918]

8 track lol this is definitely from the 70s.

[Tuggle]

This LP is now a flea market staple.

[dbouffard25]

No, that time has since come and gone as well.

[PeerlessPaavo]

I remember this ad airing in '80 or '81.

My comrades in fast-food slave labor and I used to goof on it quite a bit. Then again, none of us is "LOVED BY MILLIONS."

[DontGoToCollege]

But at least you've "SERVED MILLIONS AND MILLIONS" right?

[PeerlessPaavo]

More than anything, I dreamed of going to Hamburger U. But Daddy wasn't the sort to be around very much. And Mama didn't bring in enough washing to pay the tuition.

[TheNEWDink412]

This had to be from pre-1980.

[frankd1965]

saw this back in 1978.

[heine71]

GOLL-LEEE!
