What commercial was the song "Tangerine" used in?

[jberryhill]

It's an old swing tune:

And it was used in a commercial in the 70's or 80's.

I just can't remember the commercial.

I think it was a dish detergent or household cleanser.

Whether or not I can sleep tonight will depend on getting an answer.

2. I love you - you are now my Lord

You nailed it:

That dang song (to the tune of "Tangerine") gets stuck in my head from time to time. "...with a calorie rate of 138 a bar - my shape belongs to Figurines!" I just found this site by googling the words to the song because I wanted to be sure I remembered correctly. Man, did we watch a LOT of TV in the 70s!


I'm sitting here listening to the 40's music on Sirius, Tangerine came on, and it was driving me absolutely crazy.

I will worship you and have your babies.

and more Googling gets:

Figurines, do a lady proud,
The diet lunch that you can munch out loud!
Figurines, help keep you as you are,
something something weight, 138 a bar!
My shape belongs to Figurines!

3. LOL Glad I could help

I have been there when I couldn't think of something and it drove me crazy :pals:

On edit: if I'm now your lord, you'd better not tell the guy on the shroud in your av! :rofl:

4. I'm going to have to change that

It's not a symbol of my faith. It's a symbol of my fascination with ambiguity and the limits of rational inquiry.

But it's constantly misunderstood.
