OMG...I have NOT seen this Carpeteria commercial with the 'regal' music since 1979 when I was in 7th grade. Loved this. Then there was the weird country guy singing "oh oh, Carpeteriaaa" in the later version, in years followed by another guy singing the name of the business over and over again. Ahh, memories.

You remember that version of a country singer doing that jingle? I thought I was the only one. If only I could find that commercial and when I do, I will post it up here.

Really? Salesmen in turbans and cloaks?

[TerryT1976]

LOL, I thought the same thing when I saw that and I was like, "What the heck?"

Or maybe he was a customer looking to start a swami business.

[TerryT1976]

LOL, I guess!

Commercial is utter crap yet quite brilliant at the same time. Overall, an excellent commercial.

LOL Terry! I'm glad you recall that one too. I remember when my brother and I first heard that jingle back in the day, we just about laughed our heads off. Thanks for replying, and I hope to see your post of it if you find it.
