The male voice in this commercial was my uncle, Gene Morford. He passed away a few years ago. In his heyday he sang background for Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, Elton John and many others. He was also one of the voices on Alvin and the Chipmonks. I miss him!
Every time I see a Kawasaki on the road this jingle hits my head...Seems like the good times rolled every day in the 70s... ahhh- roll me back to my childhood Kaw!
Was thinking about this today. I remember this commercial when it first came on and it's one of those themes that sticks to your mind once you have seen it.
Thanx for posting this, I can't get this jingle out of my head either. My brother in law just brought a kaw bayou 4 wheeler here for me to borrow and ride. Let the good times roll!!
Love this jingle. Thanks for posting! I'm still looking for 1970s Yamaha and Jack in the Box jingles. Didn't Yamaha have a jingle that sounded like Mark Linday's "Silver Bird?"
Wow, I haven't heard this jingle in years, but I remembered every word! Thanks for posting this!

Looks like the whole "spontaneous-appearance-by-guy-in-gorilla-suit" schtick of the 60's hadn't yet died out.

The visuals of this ad were completely forgotten, but I couldn't get this tune out of my head if I tried. Jingle writers don't get enough credit.

Synthesizer, probably a Moog, maybe an ARP.

Could have been a highly strung, stringed instrument. Did sound funny. I remember this commercial some three and a half decades ago!!!
