[Milbink]

[michaelkr1]

My mum is the baby that's fast asleep in the background. True story. I was actually quite shocked when she told me

[coolguy7691]

[Rudergr]

[jakeylord10]

Cant stop watching! its so addicting!

[lorryfrann]

Louie has been around for 54 years! I'm a grandmother and my grandkids know all the words to Louie thy Fly. Long live Louie and may he continue for many more years! He is the only fly that is loved my Australians!!!

[Floydzkrieg]

Ha ha God, I love the '50s. Also, I hope everyone realises that this whole "kill Louie the fly" thing is a PR stunt and nothing more. He's practically iconic in Australian advertising; I think he'll be safe for another 54 years or more.

[magictorcon]

[MiniMousePoo2]

Just read about this in an AC/DC book!

[ShantiOoom]

I sing this song once in a while to my daughter and she thinks its funny. Its a precious memory of my childhood.

[misscarrotpig]

@ShantiOoom Yeah my mum used to sing this to me when I was a child, and I thought it was funny :P I need to show this to her.

[Voskid]

[chantillycream]

@Voskid - 1962

[chantillycream]

@Voskid 1962

[chantillycream]

@Voskid it was broadcast in 1962

[makkayla1]

@Voskid about 40 years ago

[dimi1leo]

Hi there i was 7 years old, when i first saw this add in Australia, it was in 1974.

[spanyolcsaj]

@Voskid in the '60s, if I know well

[kevinherbert]

@Voskid : I'd say early 60's...

[thonajon65]

@Voskid - I remember it from the 70's, looks older though

[Stubbsy674]

@Voskid 1951

[BoltBade]

my mum still sings this song

[ger0863]

I still sing this more than 30 yrs later and it still makes me smile... I remeber it from when I lived in Aus.. thanks for putting it up

[mars2dumb2liv]

Marcellus Hinds-Meyer is the most sexiest man alive and the smartest too.

[lilshedevilporsh666]

hahahaha this is sooo weird

[helen1948]

great old ad brings back some good old memories.

[georgemanka]

The words "bad and mean and mighty unclean" were used in the AC/DC song "TNT".

[brigitmurane]

im pretty sure my grandfather had a lot to do with the writing of this song....

[time4sleeping]

I remember sitting on my Dad's lap bawling my eyes out when Louie died & the family laughing at me. When it was redone in the 80s all heads would turn to me when it came on LOL

[ChelseaLOLish]

@time4sleeping awwwwww

[Imamummy2]

Another fact; that little baby in the cot is actually Bryce Courtneys son Damon. Damon, a haemophiliac, died of AIDS he contracted from a blood transfusion and was the subject of a book his father wrote. Very sad.

[Coltsaga]

I just think it's really interesting that one of Australia's favourite Authors, Bryce Courtney, had a hand in creating Louie.

[AirOfMystery]

Well, Louie is certainly not a caricature of a black man.

[ozphil]

remember when we'd all know the words to all the commercials, vegemite, sorbent, Mr Sheen etc, we're all in our 50's and sixties now and still remember them. I'd say great advertising.

[squeaky2]

I showed the clip to my kids and now they now the words too !

[lawlers69]

The ad everyone knew the words too
