Remember this well. I still call it Cities Service out of some wierd sense of iconoclasm. Also call Exxon Esso.

[tvdays]

I agree. But lifes a gas ..bad pun sorry

[JamJells]

If you were a tree, what kind of commercial would you be in. We now know. Great Clip!

[tvdays]

your barking up the wrong treee...sorry I have to branch out my thoughts, and get to the root of the problem.

[dyinglikeflies]

I STILL don't understand why. Exxon is a sucky name. At least Esso stands for Standard Oil-makes you think of old man Rockefeller handing out dimes.

My dad had a Cities Service station, and I remember the promotional EP that came to us with that theme song on it. I remember watching, as a little boy, the sign getting changed! I miss you dad!

"Zoom zoom zoom zoom, Citgo zoom." They don't write slogans like they used to.

@2005dave I remember the name change, and this wonderful jingle. (Don't try to figure out my age, LOLOLOLOL).

[RabidKoala]

Anyone here really think that Ed McMahon drove a Chevy, much less one that needed oil very often?

[TomWatsonB1]

My grandfather was the CEO of Cities Service in the 60s... Finally I get to see what it was like...

[fordude60]

@ETericET We sure did. My family had a store in central VA for years. From 1966 to '82 we used to pump gas, check oil, and clean windows.

I've been looking for that "Cities Service is Citgo now" jingle forever. THANKS for sharing!

[sambethune]

I remember this commercial from when I was a 9 year old living in Kansas. There was a Cities Service station on the corner aboiut 3 blocks or so from our house and I remember the name change to Citgo quite well.

Great job Ira...keep it up!

[2005dave]

I remember the name change, and also seeing billboards with both McMahon and Walters. Amazing what you remember from when you were four.
