The Archies - Do The Moonwalk - Tang TV Commercial - Audio Only

This audio-only clip features Ron Dante and Toni Wine (basically The Archies) performing a 1970 commercial for Tang Instant Breakfast Drink. The song was "Do The Moonwalk" aka " Tang, Tang, Bang, Bang", and the TV commercial featured kids drinking Tang and acting like they were walking on the moon. There was nothing in the commercial that showed or mentioned The Archies, but there was no mistaking the voices or the music.

This clip was pulled from an audio cassette I made in 1970 of an original hour-long "Archie's Funhouse" broadcast on CBS. I found it interesting that this commercial was shown during the "Archie's Funhouse" show.

@arkady714 I drank my share of it!! Everytime I see it in the store now, I'm tempted to buy a jar... just to see if it tastes the same, but....

@smittykins I wonder if the taste of the Grape flavor has improved after 40 years???

[smittykins]

@windsorbear According to Kraft's website, Grape Tang is still available.

@blunklaura I'm pretty sure they still make it... at least the orange flavored one anyway. Don't think they make the grape flavored Tang anymore.

[blunklaura]

Hey why did they stop making Tang anyways>

I had a neon-orange t-shirt with the Tang (Orangu)tang on it !
