the entire commercial is posted on YT somewhere. I have it inserted into one of my videos titled Flint & Detroit TV 70s & 80's. I used to crack my little brother up by singing "you gotta have farts" when this commercial came on. =)

Wow! I was in grade school when this started airing and I haven't seen it in over 20 years. A Detroit classic!

This was HUGE ... almost 40 years later, that song was still in my head.

To this day, if I'm watching "Damn Yankees" and the original version of that song comes on, I substitute the DIA lyrics for the real ones.

"A great Rembrandt, look what we got..."
