Those 70's Commercials #1

Here are two commercials I did from the late 70's. Paul Meade Insurance ran for years, and many Oklahoman's can probably STILL tell you what the phone number is!

I remember watching these at midnight as a kid on the old channel 25 before Fox came along. It was like early versions of Mystery Science Theater and the commercials were by Paule Meade. I live in South Carolina and still catch myself singing this tune.

How about that!! FYI, I just happen to be in an episode of MST3K.

Harvest Hills, wow. By the time I started going to Harvest Hills Elementary the neighborhood was already pretty well established.

Thanks for helping me to feel so old!! ; )

Tall Paul rules! - the first phone number any kid learned in Oklahoma in the 70s, but the second commercial sux.

[quantumdave]

I agree with you 100%!!

When you're lookin high and low,

and other folks just come and go

there's a number you should know,

dial it on your telephone

524-1541

Great Music. Even though I was born in the 1990s and just heard this.

"protecting all the things you own, like cars and trucks and mobile homes, accidents and credit too, call and we'll take care of you, 524-1541..." but don't quote me!

@Cassiefw. . . That was perfect and exactly how I remember it !

[donjabroni]

The gas crisis was going on at that time, and since quite a few people were using oil for their homes instead of natural gas, energy-efficiency was important then.

524-1541, god I loved that jingle!

[CreativeCritisizm]

,,pretty trashy are they ?

[firemedicbm]

Thats pretty funny comming from someone who tag teams his mom/sister with his brother/uncle!!!

Those Paul Mead commercials aired forever, like this one Del Ranch commercial that still airs after like 30 years.

ha ha these people are dumb inbred hicks

Interesting that 30 years ago, an energy-efficient home was a selling point. And yet today's environmentalists act tlike it's a recent idea.

Nice! That's the same number we would give girls in OKC before we booted them out the door for the "walk of shame". Only one girl actually got it, but it she was already in the hallway and got to "tell it to the doorknob".

Ah...Oklahoma girls.

I can still sing the Paul Meade insurace jingle after all these years. Stuck with me more than any other commecial jingle after just seeing it a few times. Good job.
