yep... my parents wrote it. that and about ten thousand others... I also sang on the playschool theme... and african lion safari.... stacks of others. child star lol :)
Wow, what a blast from the past. I loved Uncle Petes, and their ads always featured members of Pete's real life family, mucking about and falling out of boats and stuff. You wouldn't happen to have any more of these classic toy store ads floating around would you? Uncle Petes or Toyworld - anything would be great :)
I went to primary school near the st leonards store and I remember you were considered quite the thief if you could rip something off from uncle petes. LOL
wow - i remember uncle pete's toys at st leonards! i went there when i was a kid and the prices were fully jacked up, but the range of toys was amazing.
and the end tag "uncle pete's toys are magic" my friends in school changed to "uncle pete's toys are tragic" ... sort of a pre-cursor to emo, 20 years too early ...
is this jingle still running?
