Actually, I was once told by someone who says he was there that this was the Gaylords before they WERE the Gaylords.

[RoyOBrienFord]

@AudioTech50 - That is correct. It was the Gaylords before they became famous!

[dfszczepan]

This is TOTALLY awesome! The best jingle ever- -- - - sung by the Gaylords! Can't wait to see that original commercial with the guy in the spaceship coming down to 9 mile and Mack! Oh and BTW, yes the jingle is great, but the service at Roy O'Brien is OUTSTANDING, and that is why they have been in business all of these years!

@dfszczepan: We found the old footage and we'll get it up as soon as we can! : )

I love to hear this, especially the interlude where they don't sing. The announcer would come on and talk about bargains, bargains, and how you'd save yourself a lot of dollars, dollars, etc. When I was a very small child I thought it was "Royal Brian," the name of a king. I had no idea what it meant when the car drove in an s-curve then crossed it to make a dollar sign. I didn't know what a dollar sign was because I was two.

My dad, William Warfield, was a Roy O'Brien salesman for over 30 years.

Indeed. One of the catchiest jingles. ever.

[ferociousgumby]

When was this recorded, and how long did it run on TV?

[ferociousgumby]

I wish I had the original video to this: it showed a car driving in an S shape, then straight down to make a dollar sign! When I was a kid, I thought it was "Royal Brien" and he was some sort of king. I had no idea what they were selling. This played for years and years, from the time I was maybe 2 to age 7 or 8.

@TheBabyboomkidof53 We haven't been able to find the original footage, and we've looked all over the dealership. Mr O'Brien may have taken it home sometime before he passed away. Hopefully Roy P. will come across it one day. I'll keep looking though!

@RoyOBrienFord how much longer will it be till we see the old animation that played on tv in the detroit area from the late 50s throughout the 60s and beyond ?

If ever a commercial jingle espoused good will for a company for more than 55 years, this is it. Loved it then, love it now!
