Where the hell did you dig THIS up??? That's an awesome find!

Now all we need are the Yellow Cab "Hayyyyyes Street" ads. :D

You know, I actually do have it somewhere. If I'm not mistaken, the same tape since it was right around the same time! I'll have to find that tape sometime.

This song has been popping up in my head for a couple of months now.....remembering it as a kid, ,so I decided to see if it was on youtube and OMG! I am 33 years old and still remember every word to it! WOW! This is my favorite commercial! Even though I moved away from Texas when I was in high school, Houston will always be home. This commericial was AWESOME!!

I might've asked you this already, but how far back do your Houston commercials go? I'm looking for one from 1979-80.

@digitalaether And, even though he was based out of California, don't forget Cal Worthington and his "dog" Spot.

@ggm888 I often wonder how many people go there and say that they think their motor is out of yeehaw.

[digitalaether]

@Houstontvnews Oh my, or the Paul Bosch I.W. Marks commercials where he is sporting large diamond earrings, or Mr. Norman llame Mr. Norman commerials, or old school Mattress Mack (and Mattress James) commercials. I think I've been a Houston native WAY too long. hahaha

This is called... what a child in the 80's would see on Houston tv midday during the summers. Probably between reruns of the Batman live action show and the Monkees.
