I believe this jingle was written by Peter Cofield, who also recorded a solo LP for the Coral label in '68 and was a member of a band called Queen Anne's Lace.
@FSinWCR So I'm not crazy after all! I thought I heard Stan's dad sing a few seconds of this during that freak-out he had. So glad others heard that too! "That Big Red freshness lasts right through it......" LMAO!!!
now wait a second.... how can ralphie from a christmas story be kissing that hot chick? plus he is a big time band geek. and i think that lady dusting off the couple knew exactly what she was doing.
Did they ever actually have that big white tripe surrounded by two red stripes? I wanted a piece that looked like that and I was disappointed when they didn't.
The advertising agency that created this jingle is amazing. After all these years I can still sing along. It takes great creativity to do that. Its rare that you find an ad that can do the same today.
In the '80s, I was sure it ended '...with the breath-long-lasting freshness of Big Red'. But then, that was before the nice TV speakers were commonplace.
Haha, so I'm not the only one that came here after seeing the Verizon parody commercial of this. lol. I cant' believe I actually REMEMBER this very commercial.
I love these commercials. We need more commercials like this but today's society is "Too Cool" to make commercials like these anymore. When you die no one is going to remember "How Cool" you look but how well you enjoyed life and it shows through commercials like these.
@yacoub80 Seriously?? Its called a parody. Verizon is marketing this to the people who remember this ad. They knew people would know these old Big Red ads, hence the scene for scene parody of this ad(except the horse.LOL!). The advertisers would have gotten permission to use this. Its quite smart.
Hey!, is that Bob Seger singing "stereo 31" at the beginning of this clip??!!
Anyways....I'm guessing that this commercial came out, what?, about 5 years or so after "A Christmas Story"? Yes? Geez!, "Ralphie" looks exactly the same as he did in the movie.....only taller! lol
At 00:14 thats Gary Bell to the right of the lamp pole. Him and the other dorks in Central highs marching band. 19who the fuck remebers, But he did say messy Marvin was a cool guy to work with.
I LOVE this jingle. I completely forgot about it until Verizon. Theirs is pretty good too. Haha. This is even better than Wriggley's statement of the great mint jingle. I MISS THE EIGHTIES!
@JOED447 that's why I'm here!!! Can Verizon do this? They just stole the song and even the lyrics "with Big Red"! I'm so confused, are we watching a massive lawsuit about to happen?! wtf!
LOL no lawsuit. I'm sure Verizon got the rights from Big Red gum. They are making a parody and a very clever one at that ;). Hell look at all the people that are now looking at original big red commericals now lol.
