"I got hit in the rear"... "Lizard licks his eyeball"...

"I hope I never get hit in the *r-e-e-e-ar* again."

I cannot get that jingle out of my head - further proof of the genius that is Burt Bacharach!

1. I love that commercial!

:bounce: It's SO funny when he sings, "I hope I never get hit in the *r-e-e-e-ar* again." :rofl:

[Bunny]

2. Isn't his face kinda creepy, too? Is he blind or something?

He holds his head so strangely, I wonder if he has some kind of vision loss. :shrug:

I like the Little Richard one too, but Charo - not so much.

3. Bacharach reminds me of Lurch, in the Addams Family t.v. show.

When Lurch, of course is playing the harpsichord.

4. Why yes, yes he does.

Good one!

12. I had the same thought, didn't notice yours before posting mine. n/t

[Joe Fields]

13. Do you think he did it with that in mind?

[qnr]

15. It would be funny if he did, but I doubt that that is the case :) n/t

5. I don't know.

He does look a bit creepy ... but I never saw him in action when he was younger (just photos).

Funny -- I like the Charo one, but not the Little Richard one as much. :rofl:

6. You have to hand it to the Geico ad guys - they never rest

[AirmensMom]

7. That's so true.

But I miss some of the old ones, too.

8. Love the Geico gecko...

there's something sublime about that British accent and subtle mannerisms.

9. that ad always makes me laugh

The expression of the lady as she listens to burt sing "i hope I never get hit in the rear again" is hilarious :rofl:

10. Then the one with Little Richard singing about Thanksgiving food!

Not as funny as the Burt one though!

[qnr]

11. Funny :) I like him too, but I always think of "Lurch" when I see him in

that commercial.

[zauberflote]

14. Love it

I too find myself singing it, drawing out the "reeeeeeeeeear" to the breaking point and really irritating my friends. And "Lizard licks his eyeball"? That's as wonderful a phrase ever to grace a commercial. I wonder if Bacharach wrote the ditty or the advertising firm. I really hope it was Bacharach.
